I recently bought a GTX 970 and after putting it in my PC it takes longer to boot. It'll stay on the initial boot screen for about a minute before it loads up. Another weird thing is that while on that screen I can't enter the bios.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the GPU drivers with no luck and I've attempted to update my bios from the motherboard's manufacturer's website but when I tried running those it said I couldn't run it because I'm using a 64 bit PC.
Here are my specs taken from speccy.

This was the first time installing a GPU myself so I'm going to assume I screwed up somewhere, hopefully someone can help me fix this so I can learn and not make it again.
Have you made sure the power supply provides a sufficient amount of power for the GPU?
I don't see why it wouldn't everything seemed to have been plugged in correctly, any tips on how I can check?
It's 600 but I don't know if it's wired correctly or not

Even if it's all plugged in correctly, you still might be using too much power.
What was your old card? Check the power usage of your old card compared to the new one.
600 is certainly enough.

It's a 560 ti
I have the same issue, and the only other person I know who bought a 970 has the same issue as well. My power supply is insane btw, it's 1200.
It's bizarre.
Well I was just sent a link where someone was able to fix the problem by updating their bios. As I said before I tried and failed so would anyone be willing to have me find the right bios?
I had the same issue when I got my 970 back in October last year. Similarly I have a Gigabyte Z77X-D3H motherboard. I solved the issue by removing the GPU (so that I am able to access the BIOS), updating the BIOS to the latest version and then reinstalling the GPU.
There are several options for updating the BIOS although the easiest is probably using QFlash, instructions on how to use the utility can be found here: [URL]http://www.gigabyte.com.au/webpage/20/images/utiltiy_qflash_uefi.pdf[/URL]

Try following the instructions in the PDF I linked above.
Hey thanks I'll give that a shot.

Is there a way to tell what revision my motherboard is? The gigabite website lists 3 and I have no idea which one is mine. I don't have the box with my any more and it doesn't say on speccy.

The revision should be printed on the actual motherboard. You can see it in this image up on the top left corner.

I only got to try the fix now but it worked like a charm, thanks!
