I recently updated my graphics card to a EVGA GTX 980 on my windows 10 machine. the problem is that with the card in the system, windows 10 takes a VERY long time to boot, almost 45 mins to get to the login screen. Once logged in the system is SO sluggish that it is unusable. Here are a few things ive tried and it seems the the problem seems to be windows 10.
system info:
Gigabyte P55A-UD4P motherboard
core i7 SOMETHING CPU
32GB of ram
240GB SSD boot drive (windows 10)
EVGA GTX 980 4GB
I pulled the GTX card out and put in my old radeon 5770 and bam! system booted up normally (fast) once i was back in the desktop i clean uninstalled any amd drivers to make sure its not a driver issue. pulled the radeon card and put back the gtx and got the same slow boot. i even tried safe boot and the same issue. also tried to boot from recovery usb and same slow issue. now i have other OS's and the card works and boots just fine. Seems to be a windows 10 problem here. just for kicks i put in there an old nvidia gt440 and it booted normally. I didnt have this issue with windows 7 when i had the old gt440 (system was updated to 10 from 7) i also removed any traces of nvidia drivers as well.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
