How To Make Windows 7 Boot Faster
Mar 18, 2011My laptop takes longer to finish booting (60-70 seconds) than my slower desktop that boots up in about 35-45 seconds.
My laptops CPU is a Core i5 vs my desktop which is an old Pentium 4 HT. I've disabled the same amount of programs to start up on both so I don't know why the laptop is taking longer. how to improve the boot time?
Make Windows 7 Boot Faster On I7 Rig?
Mar 25, 2012i did a little researching last night to find out how to make my os boot faster, right now its a solid 40 seconds from pressing the on button to usable desktop. my rig is an i7 960, x58 gaming series with 12 gb of ram. followed a few guides on Internet that didn't make much of a difference that included setting the number of cores to 4 and max memory on the msconfig window. this rig came with a 64gb solid state which had the os on it, boot up was about a 1/3 faster and shut down took less than 5 seconds compared to now at about 12. i opted to sell it due to its immensely small size and stuck with the 1tb hdd which i then loaded win7 on myself.
any other tweaks you can recommend to get this rig to boot up quickly and shut down faster? there are tons of apps in the services start up that i really don't know what to do with and dont want to toggle them off, startup only has 5 required things that need to be active when booting up. outside of that, not sure what else i can do or if this is the limits of what win7 + my rigs specs can achieve. 40 second boot up seems slow on my 1tb hdd.

Feb 24, 2012I'm interested in buying a laptop, one of the main uses will be running vmware with potentially server 2008 and/or a couple of Windows 7 workstations. I was wondering if vmware or hyper-v utilize an i7 to its full potential or will I not really notice any difference if I opt for an i5 instead.

Nov 13, 2011My laptop seems to be really slow. I'm quite sure that my laptop has always been slow, so it's not like it suddenly just got slow. My laptop used to be Vista but was then I updated to Windows 7. To find more details about my laptop click the computer icon next to my username. I would like some suggestions on how I can make it faster as it's starting to annoy me.
P.S I timed my laptop to see how long it would take to turn on then open my browser, it took 5 mins, it may sound short but its not short when you have to wait 5 mins every time you turn it on.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFaster Way To Boot From Hard Drive
May 19, 2011So I just purchased a SSD and put Win 7 on it. All is fine and dandy, but I still like to visit my Vista instance on the old hard drive. It appears that the only way to switch between which hard drive & OS to boot to is to go into the BIOS, rearrange the boot sequence, and then reboot. This is rather clumsy and time consuming IMO. Is there a faster way to choose which hard drive to boot from? I've looked into "dual booting" which will prompt the user with a simple menu to choose which OS to boot into. This is exactly what I want. The problem is that it appears this is only available when both OS's are on one hard drive, which is not my situation.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDisable Page File - Faster Boot / Load Time?
Jul 1, 2011I am the proud owner of a Windows 7 Ultimate comp with 6gb ram, i7 920, etc... I have had this comp for about 1.5 years, and it has been slowing down... The bootup time has slowly been increasing, and the amount of time for me to actually be able to use programs once I see the desktop has increased. I have disabled all but the completely necessary startup programs/services, but this does not seem to work.
Whenever I start up my computer, sometimes I open task manager and check out the performance window and every time my computer is slow, I see the hard faults skyrocket. At startup, the thing is over the max shown on the graph for a while. To my knowledge, the hard faults/sec represent that the computer is either writing to or reading from the page file.
Anyway, down to the real question: Would disabling the page file decrease startup times, by forcing the computer to write everything to the ram, instead of tying up the already-slow hdd by writing/reading the page file?
Installed SSD. Move "System Reserved" To SSD And Make SSD Boot?
Jan 4, 2012I recently installed a SSD into my setup. I didn't have a Windows 7 64bit disk, so I booted into the HDD's OS and installed via .iso (I didn't want to burn it, as that always seems to fail.I wanted to get the System Restore partition installed on the SSD, so I tried booting to a Win 32bit disk and formatting the drive that way. Problem is, the System Restore is not recognized as such, and was visible so I ended up deleting it
that works fine, except I now have this:
Disk0: Hard drive
Disk1: SSD
Disk2: Irrelevant
1. Can I move the System Restore Partition to the SSD?
2. How can I make this boot off of the SSD? It currently boots off of the System restore on the HDD
3. The drive letters are screwed up, but whenever I try to change the SSD's drive letter it says "the parameter is incorrect", no matter which drive letter I choose.
F11 Key Non Responsive?

The F11 key does not let me get to system recovery and the computer goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor - Windows 7 Operating System. I have a boot disk which lets me get to recovery however, system restore does not work as there is only one restore point so I am screwed. I do not have an image to restore to either

Feb 2, 2013i fix washers and dryers for a living, so i'm likely to not know many of the basics. here's what i know: 1) i have an hp 2800 running windows 7 home edition. 2) the unit has a developed a habit of freezing requiring a hard reboot to restart. 3) the problem has gotten worse over time, sometimes with as much as 8 hours between freeze-ups and sometimes less than two minutes. 4) the computer will freeze if i go onto Internet.com and play a video. this is 100% reliable. this will happen in safemode as well as regular mode. 5) the computer may freeze if i'm on facebook or dragging the mouse down screen. it will eventually freeze if i'm playing music. webmusic is also 100% reliable at bringing on a freeze, though it may take minutes rather than seconds. 6) the computer also freeze in safemode, when connected to the internet. this is hit or miss. running windows event viewer, these messages are consistently logged before the times when the computer has frozen up.

Jan 2, 2013I have an Acer 5732Z laptop that has never given me trouble until today. I was in the process of updating my GPS when it told me to restart the computer with the GPS still plugged into the USB drive. However, when the windows 7 login screen came on, I was unable and am still unable to get my touchpad or keyboard to work. The GPS is unplugged and still nothing. It's not disabled (touchpad), safe mode/system restore doesn't work and I am past warranty so Acer cannot help.I am currently just stuck on the login screen. Have tried USB mouse and keyboard, nothing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLaptop Non-Responsive When Wakes Up From Sleep?
May 28, 2011I've had an HP dv5t laptop for about a year and a half (see specs), and so far (knock on wood) it's been pretty much perfect EXCEPT for one problem that has been happening on and off for the last several months. It occurs about once or twice a month for no apparent reason --- and I don't know if this this is a hardware or a software problem. What happens is that all of a sudden, for no reason my keyboard and touchpad/mouse are completely non-responsive -- and the only thing I can do is use the power button to shut down. When I reboot everything seems fine, until the next time it happens, a week or two later. It can happen when the laptop is running, but more often it happens when I open the lid after the system has been in Sleep mode. (I keep the laptop in 'Sleep' mode all the time when the lid is closed, and only fully "shut down" once in a while.) Everything seems to load properly --- the Desktop looks perfect and all my apps/icons are there, but the mouse won't move and the keyboard doesn't respond.

Apr 20, 2012Im having some problems after i boot my computer with Windows 7 x64. After the usual startup process which is fine, it logs onto my user and the screen just goes all black.. No taskbar, icons or anything. Mouse clicking doesn't work, and only occasionally i can provoke the taskmamager to work with ctrl, alt, del.. But what ever i click there it just sends me back to the black screen.. Its really annoying and ive considered just formating it, but the windows cd i have is only an upgrade version which i cant use as it just says the system is too new.. And i really cant afford a new win 7 cd.. Especially not with the soon release of win8..
View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Kills A Task That Appears Non-responsive But Is Just Slow?
Sep 28, 2010I am trying to create a DVD using Cyberlink PowerDirector. It reaches 21%, at which point Windows 7 deems it non-responsive and kills it.I tried it on my old Windows XP machine and noticed that it DOES sit at 21% for a very long time (minutes) but eventually soldiers on to successful completion.So it seems that Windows 7 is being a bit eager to kill off this task. Is there anyway I can turn off this feature in Windows ... or increase the time it waits ... or exempt a certain .EXE from being axed?I have tried searching online but of course any search with the term "non-responsive" in it just comes back with thousands of posts on how to kill such tasks, rather than how to not have Windows 7 kill them for me

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows Task Scheduler Kills Tasks That Appears To Be Non-responsive
Nov 9, 2012I have scheduled a program to run every morning that will pull data out of our SQL server (the tool is "Toad"). I want to have that data ready when I come in the morning. Problem is, at that time, there are other tasks running on the SQL server making in slower to spit the data out, but it eventually sends it, always. Windows 7 (or the Task Scheduler itself, I am not sure which one) seems to think that the program has become unresponsive and stops it. When I look at the history of the task, it says the last execution status is "(0x0)" meaning completed successfully. I know it did not because the Excel spreadsheets that receives the data is still open and hasn't received all the data it should - it nevers stops at the same point so it is not an issue with my retrieval scripts. If I launch the task manually during the day, when the SQL server will respond in a timely manner, the task will complete successfullly. If I use the tool itself, it never gets killed, and I haven't seen Window complain it has become unresponsive even when it runs for a long time. Otherwise, anyone knows of any settings that would prevent Windows or Task Scheduler to kill what it thinks are unresponsive tasks or at least, change the delay before it thinks so?

May 7, 2012Situation: I have RAID 0 as C with Windows 7 installed and E with old Vista installation.
I want to remove E disk because it is failing and I don't need Vista on it either as it is non bootable from previous crashes. However E disk is System disk and if I detach it, my Windows 7 on Raid 0 does not load with error: "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart." When I connect E back everything boots up normally.
I forgot to say that before detaching E disk I performed Change boot drive action in EasyBCD 2.1.2 to C, but as I said disk read error then happens. I also tried startup repair with Windows 7 installation cd but it founds no problem.
