I still have problems with the nVidia card. It took 15 minutes to get the
system booted again and working. After a while, it was struggling with
installing the graphics and I had to go back to default graphic settings.
When I booted again, I changed them to the correct drivers and booted again.
This time it finally booted to a screen, but I noticed that it settled with the
170 nVidia Drivers instead of the 180 that it was supposed to use. I still
have good video, but the 180 drivers, when installed properly are much better
in quality.
So I can't give you any decent input as to boot up time, other than you can be
grateful you don't have mine.
Cordially,
Steven
