nvidia BIOS splash screen

WhiteFireDragon · 01-29-2008, 01:39 AM

i have a 7900gt, so right when i turn on my computer, the nvidia splash screen shows for about 2-3 seconds showing logo, copyrighted, and driver version. this is all displayed before my comp even POSTs and detects and the hardware. how do i get rid of this extra screen? i was trying to minimize boot time.

Try going into BIOS and looking under the startup settings (Where you have the choice for a quick startup, long startup, etc.) That may work.

nope it's not in the BIOS. does anyone know how to do it from the desktop or regedit?

If you are sure it's from the video card and not an nVidia-based motherboard, then the only way to fix it is to either find a tweaked BIOS, or try to edit it yourself using one of the few nVidia BIOS editors, although I doubt you will find a way how to with those.

Using the desktop or regedit has nothing to do with the POST screens, as it occurs well before Windows even starts to load.

it's my 7900gt card and not the mobo because i had an older card in there before and the splash screen did not show up. so then how would i find a vga BIOS editor and/or flash my 7900gt's bios?
