Have a look at the video please, I restart the system, and you can see that the Asus Sabertooth X58 TUF Logo pops up twice and there is a White '_' blinks on the Black screen just next to it, but neither of them were there with my old GPU, 9800GT but it's happening after installing my new GTX 560 GPU. Any idea what's the issue? It's not a big thing to ask, but asked outta curiosity.

Installing a PCI-E graphics card will make the boot process slow. AFAIK, Its normal. And.. Its just 2 seconds. So, go easy :p
