Hello,
First time poster here so sorry if this is not in the right area. I’m looking for some help for an issue that recently arised on my custom built gaming PC. The problem is that as of late my PC is taking upwards of 10-15 minutes on the ASUS black screen before finally loading Windows. Windows 10 is installed onto my PNY 120 GB SSD and worked as fast as 5-10 seconds in the past.
Here is my build:
Processor: Intel i5 6600k
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming
RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws
PSU: Corsair 750 watt gold
Motherboard: ASUS z170 pro gaming
SSD: 120 GB PNY (where OS is installed)
HDD: Western Digital 1TB
Case: InWin 303
Case fans: 4 white led Corsair fans
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
So far I have tried:
- Factory resetting (both with my old files and then later a clean reinstall)
- Checking both SSD and HDD for problems and sector issues. Both passed.
- Resetting my BIOS to default
- Rebooting in safe mode (still takes forever)
- Updating all Driver’s
- Took out and tried to power on with 1 ram stick and in other sockets (issue still persists)
- Eliminating start up programs
Please help! What’s also strange is that once the computer does actually load windows everything seems to run smooth as butter including running games like battlefield and rainbow six without any lag or frame rate drops.
I appreciate any and all help provided!
