• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I recently got my first SATA drive, previously I've only owned ATA100. Before installing, I had to update my BIOS for compliancy with SATA hard drives.... So I did that and instaleld the drive. However, now whenever I boot up the system hangs at the BIOS splash screen for about 3-4 MINUTES! Before I had this drive the system used to completely start up and be at the desktop in like 1 minute.

Does anyone know what happened? Why does it take so long to boot up now? And how can I fix it??? I'm sure that it shouldn't be doing this...
