So recently my pc started to take its sweet time booting to BIOS , sometimes it beeps 6 times then boots , sometimes it beeps for 1 hr straight or even more .... I had to unplug the speaker soo i can actually have the pacient and will to wait for it to boot . ( 6 beeps every 6 seconds for 60 minutes or more straight would drive anyone crazy )

The motherboard is a ASUS H97m-E , the manual tells me that the code is Display driver related ,so called gpu , its not the gpu not at all it does it on intel hd graphics .

The CPU is a 4690k , its not overclocked , was overclocked automaticaly by the motherboard before . Cooling for it is also not a issue , get a maximum of 67 C in full load

The m.2 SSD , the boot device , its in a perfect condition , it has 98% health .

The PSU its a Seasonic 620w EVO , never had a problem with it and its also not loud or doing any funny sound .

The GPU is a GTX 1070 G1 Gaming , yes the cpu bottlenecks the gpu , but i've ran this setup for almost 2 years now and never had a problem , been playing games no problem

At this point i dont even know what i can try and do to fix it . I stil have waranty on it , because i had the motherboard replaced in 2017 after a PCI lane failure ....

I dont know if this booting problem has a fault to the peformance of my pc . Recently im also getting lower frames in games , games where i could run them easy .

Im willing to test almost everything . Yes the pc could use a upgrade in the CPU department but atm im broke and can't afford to trow a lot on a better one , and not going to get a lower end newer CPU.

Pull the gpu and use the graphics on your cpu. And see if it helps. Then try pulling one stick of ram at a time and see if that changes anything. Also try turning off fast boot.
I did the gpu removing thing , i even typed that :D . The one stick at the time didnt help at all . Im going to give the fast boost thing a try . But that means i might be back in a hr with a respond
