New GPU - PC Boots Slow - Artifacts

[CreateNPlay]

Hey all, just recently purchased a GTX770 OC Windforce x3. After installing it my boot time takes a very long time and after the first screen with the single underscore i get this come up.



After this it boots into windows and is fine. But it never used to do this..

What do?

And its fine running games for extended periods?

Something seems out of the ordinary sir, I guess as you've just purchased it you're well within your warranty times?

So after calling tech support, they knew the issue, and it was with outdated bios. They had me update but it bricked my mobo unfortunately, we found out after that it needed to be updated incrementally, OCUK are going to replace the mobo with a new Z77-GD55, Kind of them.

Will update soon

And that's why they get so much business outta me even when the bits are cheaper elsewhere!
