Windows 10: Longer loading times after updating Chipset drivers and BIOS

So a few weeks ago I was having problems where my PC was constantly crashing and was told to update my drivers like Chipset and BIOS, I updated the chipset drivers and no more crashes but I was getting FPS drops so I updated the BIOS drivers and it fixed the FPS drops but now I've noticed in some games they'll start freezing and go Not Responding for a few minutes when loading like TF2, Kenshi, Dwarf Fortress and Unturned when they never did before. Also for some reason games with BattlEye when I start them up I get a BSOD and was told to update or downgrade my BIOS so I don't know anymore a

BIOS or Chipset Driver Update

I doubt that a BIOS update will help with issues with a wireless keyboard. (I can't say that it's impossible, but it's not the first thing I'd try.)

The chipset drivers are Windows drivers. They won't affect your BIOS. Chipset drivers may not be much in the line of drivers; they mainly give information about the chipset that is needed by Windows (.inf files).

Are you getting the BIOS update from here? https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers.../model/8877180

The 6 BIOSes listed are not different versions for a single PC, they are for different hardware.

MSI 5870 BIOS Update

Still can't reproduce. Could you please post the exact BIOSes that produce the issue?

 

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
