As I'm trying to turn it back on, it has taken literally 40 minutes to get past the MSI splash screen. It takes a full 8 hours (no I am not kidding, nor exaggerating!) to get into Windows 7. And even then, everything is slow. Not like a normal P4/1GB ram (because I have a machine like that that is faster!) slow, but like low framerate slow. Same with the bootup. The huge MSI logo splash screen looks like I'm trying to download an image via dial up, and loads 1/5 of it at a time, over a period of nearly an hour. This process used to be so fast that I could hardly read it.
i reformatted my hard drive 3 weekends ago after getting a new ssd. i have my windows 7 and adobe cs5 installed on my ssd. everything else is on my trusty, old hard drive. when i re-formatted, i used an ultimate boot cd > darik's boot & nuke. it took 15 hours! if there was anything naughty on there then i sure as heck was determined to get rid of it.before i formatted i had the occasional internet hiccup (it's comcastic!) but nothing to cry about. but now...i literally can't do anything i used to do.downloading anything takes forever. there's constant hang-ups and time-outs.also i love to play games online, but this problem is causing me nothing but headaches. i've been playing fallout 3 lately and i'm constantly disconnected from windows live/steam because my connection is so poor.if i want to watch a Internet video then i have to have the foresight to buffer for a good time before i want to actually enjoy it. this goes for netflix as well, you can forget about watching anything on there... last night i wanted to watch a video with a friend. it was 12 minutes long. it took me 15 minutes to buffer...at 240p. pathetic right?
using skype is virtually impossible now too. i keep getting slow connection speed errors/messages and my friend and i look like we're 8-bit characters.!but the thing is...i swapped to skype last night on my phone before bed to talk with my friend and the connection seemed absolutely fine. no hiccups or bumps or anything. and the picture seemed crisp as could be (well, as far as my iphone 3gs can get anyway!)i keep getting "no internet access" errors when trying to connect to my router. my parents live across the street. since i used to live with them i still have the code for their internet. i'm using it now because it works better than my connection in the living room. how sad is that?
- searched forums! most everything i find points to spyware/malware/viruses. i could re-format again this weekend but i don't see how it's possible that anything naughty clung to my hard drive after using darik's boot & nuke 3 weekends ago;
- swapped out my router, same undesirable result;
- reset router and modem, that didn't seem to change anything;
- run memtest86, i did this test overnight, 8 hours later and there were 0 errors, so i know my ram isn't the issue...
i might be a bit ignorant when it comes to these things but i'm really at my wits end with this. it's been 3 weeks and i can't seem to figure out why my internet is so unreliable. and i did check on comcast's website, i'm at 80% of the cap for this month. so i haven't gone over.i swapped back to my connection to try and get a speedtest.net reading but i timed out each time after 5 minutes of trying to access that website. and well...i'm back on my parent's connection.
I just got a HP desktop with Window 7 pre-installed, however, it took about 10 minutes for the starting up the computer. Is it reasonable for Window 7 operating system or there is somethnig wrong with it? If Yes, how can I fix it/them?
got Windows 7 up and runnin�for a while now , but I am noticing that my boot time is quite long, at least, that how it feels to me. I�ve got a pretty strong laptop, so 80 seconds or even 2 minutes at a certain point to boot up seems strange, right? And this is when I've got almost no software installed, it's still mostly a clean laptophen I did the clean install, I had to convert the disk from GPT to MBR,otherwise I could not have installed Windows. Is it because this conversion that my boot time has increased? My laptop supports UEFI, and UEFI needs GPT in order to work.
Currently I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my pc : core i3-2100 msi h67 motherboard 6 GB g skill ram msi 5770 wd caviar blue 1TB
My problem is my boot partition is only 100 GB, so I put other applications than windows to another drive? So does it actually any correlation between the boot time and me installing other application to another drive than the boot C. I want to try ssd, but it actually quite expensive. So I might want to but another hard drive just to put all the application.
I use a Compaq Presario AY655AA ACJ CQ3220IX with the following configuration:

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed in this computer. It worked just fine for about one year. It normally took 30 seconds to boot up. But now I'm experiencing unexpected slow bootup of windows. Now it takes about 2 minutes 20 sec. I've tried removing some of the start up programs and also tried scanning with Guardian antivirus by Quick Heal, but it showed my PC clean of viruses. What should I do to solve my problem?
So, I have a Windows 7 Laptop and XP, I would know to know how to Improve the boot speed time Is there anytime to speed it up or any tweaks or Registry Edits? My computer does not have any maleware or spyware Has 2GB RAM
Things I have done
Defraged HDD Deleated Unwanted Programs Went > Msconfig> startup > got rid of extra start up items Went > Msconfig> Services > took of unwanted services
I tried something New which is really good which works helped improved speed by 10 seconds
Went > Msconfig> boot > checked No Gui boot Went > Msconfig> boot > advance options > number of processors changed it to 2 ( has made a difference) What else can i do? to make it even faster and cut down on the time? What does this option do/mean Went > Msconfig> boot > advance options > Maximum memory
I usually have to boot my machine twice. I boot the first time, log into my (domain) account, and once windows loads, I get a BSOD. After that, if I reboot, the system works all day.
This happens if I'm bringing it out of sleep or hibernate too, but it has to be inactive for a few hours for it to give a BSOD.
I am running a Dell Latitude D620. Windows 7 Pro 32 bit (fully licensed) 4 GB RAM Intel T2500 2.00 GHz processor Joined to a domain
i can change boot time in system properties or in msconfig but the time not changing in boot manager list it stays on 30 sec whatever i change it. i have dual boot win 7 and vista. please help me fix that.
My Windows 7 PC is in "Hibernate" most of the time and I rarely restart it. I would like to do what most people are trying to avoid: I would LIKE TO have a chkdsk run on all drives every time I boot. Is there an easy way to do this? Further, might there be any way to distinguish between "this chkdsk is being run because you want it run every time" vs. "the chkdsk is being run because the dirty bit is set (you had a problem)"?
No updates or new applications installed, but recently boot time has about doubled, with the longest stretch during the amber (yellow) monitor light on and blank screen after Windows Starting and before the blue splash screen.

I have been at this for about 3-4 hours trying to decrease the boot time of my computer I was able to get it from 10 minutes down to 5-6.I biggest thing I noticed is the time between the Windows animated boot screen and the actually blue login screen just shows a black screen about about 2 minutes or so. Anything I can do to decrease this? Logs, etc?
I have a spare pc with Windows 7 64bit professional (no SP1) on a ssd which I bought a year ago. Back then, it booted within 20sec or so. I noticed a slower boot time after the SP1 patch. So I assumed the patch slows the PC and so I went on with my life.
Now that I bought a new PC with a Windows 7 SP1 64bit professional DVD, I expected to have a slower boot time since SP1 was already added on the DVD. But to my surprise, it booted just as fast, around 17 sec on a fresh install. I rebooted and got the same 17 sec. Next, I updated the recommended patches. I did not install anything else that was optional, any MB drivers, GPU drivers, etc. Just plain recommended windows updates. Boot time went from 17 to 46 seconds. How can that be? If patches slow PCs, then the new DVD should have done so from the beginning.
i have seen people on Internet.com running a boot time test. basically what it does it it shuts down your pc totally off and then turns it back on and runs a test to see how long it takes to start up. i was just wondering how can i do this with my pc? i have a asus g53sw with windows 7 and i wanted to check the boot speed after i get all of the stupid bloateware crap off of it and see if it makes a difference...is there instructions anywhere to where i could run this boot test without installing a 3rd party program, i dont trust those stupid 3rd party computer test programs
I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to fixing computer problems. I just want to make sure I am correct with what the problem may be. I need some input from fellow computer heads. My neighbors had a problem with Win7 slow startups. Sometimes it would boot up slow and sometimes it would just stay on the blank screen. I went into Safe Mode and got rid of all of the malware and the one virus. That did not solve the problem. So after thorough troubleshooting I decided to re-install windows. Everything was running fine yesterday but now it is taking about 20 minutes for windows to load and after logging into a profile it takes an additional 10-15 minutes. Last night I had went into msconfig to prevent slow startups . I'm assuming there is a problem with the HDD
Every Time I restart windows can't boot. I have absolutley no idea on what is wrong. If I start a destructive recovery, I manage to get on, and after my pc automatically restarts to install ASUS drivers, it works, but over night (my motherboard glows green) and I wake up and it doesn't work.
About 2 weeks ago, I built a new computer from scratch and gave it some pretty awesome specs, especially for my budget ($1,000). Some basic specs are:
i5-3750k CPU MSI GTX 660 O/C GPU 8GB of RAM a 1TB 7200 RPM 6.0GB/s HDD a 64 GB Samsung SSD
When I first started the computer, I was able to get from boot screen (the little MSI logo for my mainboard), to the Windows 7 login screen in a few seconds. I'm not sure exactly how long, but the little windows logo that appears when Windows loads didn't even finish appearing. The 4 parts of the windows met in the middle and then it was done.However, now, after 2 weeks of installing stuff, the boot time has gone up. Slightly. It went from about 8 seconds to 10-12 seconds (estimates!). To be honest, however, the boot time was pretty much the same until yesterday, and it was different this morning. The only thing that was changed was that I installed Google Drive.Also, just so you know, my SSD is pretty much exclusively a boot disk. All of my program files and user documents are stored on my HDD, allowing my SSD to be the "windows" disk. Like I said, my boot time has always been pretty fast, and I certainly am not complaining about it now - however, I've noticed and change, and don't want it to continually get worse, so I want to try to prevent it from happening in the future. By the way, I have taken multiple maintenance measures. Yesterday I ran a full virus scan on both disks, a defragment on the HDD (I know not to run one on the SSD), as well as run CCleaner to ensure that my startup isn't too long (It went up by 1 program : Google Drive).
Different to most peoples boot up problems, mine problem is that it takes about two minutes to show the boot up animation after the HP logo. All it shows is a black screen with a little flashing white line for about two minutes.
Every time I try and start my laptop I get the BSOD. I tried going to Last Known Good Configuration and it seemed to work as it did not crash immediately, but when I opened the internet the BSOD came back.I attached the dump files and health report and my specs are as follows.
Every day I come home and boot up my computer, and every day it BSODs either instantly or within 10 minutes, once I restart it seems to be fine and will run for DAYS. Also seems like all of my last systems have been having the same problem, so possibly it's some of the hardware I have been re-using, but it is beyond me to figure out and I just need it to stop..Windows 7 x64 full retail, fresh installed in the last 2-3 months, problem didn't exist immediately..Hardware varies from a few months old (motherboard, cpu) to a few years old (video card, hard drives, some older and some newer ram). I have tried with multiple different hard drives with fresh installs of Windows as well as different RAM combinations and configurations.
My laptop apparently is having a hard time booting. I start it up, it will display the blinking cursor and stay like that forever, i hard shut it down and the BIOS will search for new hardware (as its suppose to) and then the blinking cursor will appear for around a minute before booting up! this is really annoying and ive already Reset the BIOS to default and Reinstalled windows (deleted all Partitions and made one)
