Slow boot/shutdown/restart after installing a USB 3.0 PCI-E card
I have a HP Z400 workstation which I bought in 2010. It supports a two-port USB 3.0 card which I had installed until recently. It was the one that HP recommended. However, it stopped working and I replaced it with a different one, specifically an Anker card.
I now have a problem because the PC is very slow when booting. The power button lights up, remains lit for 45 seconds to 1 minute and then the normal boot process begins. Logging on is also very slow. The same applies when shutting down or restarting. There is a very big delay.
Are there any suggestions as to how to cut down these delays?
