Troubleshoot Slow boot time after BIOS update

[raxa707]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

slow boot

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

used optimized defaults and updated bios

so having bought my recent rig which is the following
core i3 4150
gigabyte h81m-ds2 rev 3 board
8gb ddr 3 ram
nvidia gtx 650

now few days ago i updated the bios and then restarted my pc and it gave me a bluescreen , found out i had to turn on ide in the bios settings and along with the use optimized defaults. i also enabled the fast boot option. earlier my pc took almost 3 seconds to boot from windows logo screen to the login screen and now it takes 2 to 3 minutes.. and its really frustrating me, what could be the culprit? do i need to enable the ultra fast boot option and is there any timing option in the bios?

help me guys
thanx

why did you update the bios if everything worked fine...? maybe the new bios dont manage your hardware properly.

try to get the old BIOS

Check in the bios under Sata mode if AHCI mode is enabled, if not enable it, save and exit.

I had a similar issue, found out it was HPA present in HDD. Used seatools and selected option called "Revert to original size" or something?
