HEY

Today i bought the BENQ xl2420t and the Gigabyte GTX 770 -4GB.

It seems the reboot or restart time is now very long (more than 2 min, before it was 15-20 sec).

I installed the GPU driver from the installation disc, not from the BIOS or something like that because i don't know how to do it, if it's even necessary.

Does someone can help me please?

intel core i7 3770k 3.5ghz 8mb l3 cache s1155.
gigabyte ga-z77x-ud5h.
g skill ares 4*4gb ddr3 1600mhz.
120gb SSD sata.
cpu cooler scmg-3000/3100.
corsair tx 850w v2
GPU Gigabyte GTX770-4GB
Monitor BENQ XL2420t

TNX..

Here's a link to the bios updates, They look like you can do it through windows but im not 100%. Most of the time you have to put it on a usb, go into the bios and then go to (in your case) "q-flash"

Make sure you know what version you're on first

I would use this, it seems to be an update...
Hey man and tnx for the fast response..
I already updated the GPU driver (it's shows that the driver is up to date)..

Yes, its black a while and than welcome screen shows up ( i have 1 monitor plug with DVI dual link cable working on 120hz and the TV plug with HDMI to the GPU), and when the windows starting up i can see the AMERICAN MEGATREND label only on the TV and the monitor is black. and than after long time the monitor turn on with the welcome screen and than the windows is working normally.

Thank you..
 
This usually happens when the BIOS decides to use your onboard graphics instead of your discrete graphics card.

Are both displays plugged into the graphics card? If they aren't they have them both go through the graphics card first.

If that doesn't work then it can usually be changed within the BIOS by setting the primary video adapter to PCI-E. You might have to do some digging but you should find something along those lines (just be careful not to mess with or change anything else in there).

 
it's usually F2 when you see that american megatrend thing...basically when you start the computer start spamming the F2 button. I'm doing some research on the bios to try and help you out a bit, and it looks like theres a "peripherals" tab I'd check in there first. In there I see a option that says "internal graphics" change that to disabled
 
I unplug the TV and now i can see the AMERICAN MEGATRENDS label on the monitor.

but i could not get into the BIOS, i tried to spam F2 and DEL and the screen just was black and the BIOS did not open.

 
to plugin the TV that it will be the only display that connect to the PC?
because i tried to do what you said when they were both connected, the monitor to the gpu and the TV to the motherboard and after reset the PC did not send a signal to the TV..
So maybe to connect only one display to the motherboard?
