Hey guys, back again.
Recently made my new rig, only 3 months old now and I cant quite tell if my motherboard/bios/rig has a problem.
The bios used to take 2-3 seconds to get to the windows loading screen, however now, 2-3 months later it has started taking 20-25 seconds+.
The bios is on latest version.
Lastly, when i do boot up the computer, you can hear it turning off and on, around 3 times. It then follows up saying that the system failed to boot/start several times.
Any help, or any tips/solutions?

I have a GTX 680 graphics card
Intel I7 3820 3.6GHZ overclocked to 4.6GHZ, watercooled
16 GB corsair ram
850W PSU
Windows 7 ultimate.

Thanks

I set the overclocking profile back to default and it no longer said that there were problems with the system starting. However it still takes around 15-20 seconds to boot to the windows screen. Is it supposed to be like that with the updated bios? Is there anyway to revert it back to the factory default bios/settings?

Thanks for the help so far :)
 
If you updated the BIOS maybe it enabled something (Lan/onboard audio or extra SATA controller such as Marvell) that you had disabled and thus takes longer to do its thing?
 
As far as im aware, ive disabled everything that i had disabled before. The bios itself just seems to take a little bit longer than it used to when i first built the pc, even after formatting.
 
Could just be the way it is now? X79 platforms have never booted up quickly compared to their Z77/Z87 brothers.
