    OK guys, i clean installed windows 10 on my gt80 but whenever i try to boot with uma graphics instead of the GPU, it takes forever to load and it wont pass the lock screen... it gets insanely slow... and it order to boot again i have to reset CMOS battery... i tried to install Intel drivers but it wont let me, it says my PC doesn't meet minimum requirements.. so im wondering if anyone of you is facing this problem or know a solution of how to properly get it to boot with the UMA graphics?

    How much time did you let it pass when you reached the lock screen?

    I will try it today but I do remember that the very first time I ran with discrete graphics, it had to install the intel GPU and it took a long while. But I think it now boots normally.

    What do you mean by it wont let you? Boot? Remove drivers? Install drivers?

    Alright, so i found out what the problem was... I remembered that after i clean flashed W10, i update my bios to E1812IMS.118 and results that that update is causing problems with 3x8GB rams. so i updated to the most recent one, that one being E1812IMS.119.. it seems that it fix the problem, it didnt take more than 1min to install drivers and boot to OS...

    Thanks for trying to hel me guys, and happy holidays! :)

    Oh glad you found out! I did see that the newest BIOS fixed that issue with 3 slots of RAM, but it never occurred to me that it was the issue here. Good to know!
