View 3 Replies View RelatedUnknown 30 Second Boot Delay After Password Entered?
Oct 11, 2012Here's the issue:The boot time on the Dell box (XPS 430 Core 2 Quad - 8GB Ram - Radeon 4000x series) was virtually instantaneous from the time I hit enter on the password screen till I see the desktop.However, the new box...Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50 GHz 8MB Cache/Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard/VisionTek 900339 Radeon HD 6850 Video Card - 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0/Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 1TB 7200 rpm 64 mb cache/16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 PNY SDRAM at 1067MHz/1333MHz...takes almost 33 seconds from the time I hit enter on the password till I see the desktop!Now here's what really doesn't compute. There is less data in the new install, and the page file is on another hdd, in additon to the 8 core processor with 16 GB of faster ram & an 80% free 1TB HDD.
I've been trying to all sorts of different approaches to try to resolve the 33 second problem:1. Event viewer per this TechRepublic video: TR Dojo: Diagnose slow Windows 7 boot with Event Viewer | TechRepublic (no processes or programsindicated)2. Clean booting per this page: How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows Vista or Windows 73. Bios default settings (not many changes anyways)4. Manually checking ALL entries in the Device Manager for driver updates5. Checking all manuf websites for new drivers or windows updates6. Defragging7. Avast full scans and MalwareBytes full scans (always clean) x 58. Blowing out old restore points 9. CCcleaner Registry scrubs10. sfc/verifyonly - no problems foundBut nothing seems to work. Given that a clean boot didn't resolve the issue, I have a feeling it might be a hardware timeout, but I have no idea if that's right, or how to trace it (the stuff I google is way above my head).

Oct 18, 2012When I was booting one day last week I got a nasty BSOD when Windows was trying to load. Then on the next reboot Windows 7 said it couldn't load and needed to do the recovery OS option from the Windows 7 repair on the CD. Well, before trying that I did a cold reboot and it got back into the OS fine so I didn't think much of it. Now, I noticed Ghost shows the C: drive status as "Unavailable" and it can't back it up anymore. It does give me an option to restore from one of my old backups. I'm thinking the MBR got hosed up somehow or something like that. But I'm skeptical to run an MBR repair since I have that 100MB partition on my SSD where my OS resides.
Ghost Shot> This was about a week ago my Windows 7 started acting up right before the big patch Tuesday. I've been running it for over a year now and it's been solid. When I first set it up I installed it on my SSD (Intel 510 120GB) drive. One of the qualms I had with the install is Windows created a separate boot sector on the disk drive where it stored my boot files. This is known the the "system reserved" operating system files 100MB partition. Apparently the way to avoid this is to use a third party partition tool before doing the windows install. That way it will keep the Boot sector files on the same partition which is how I would of liked it for doing restores from Ghost 15,etc. Anyway, ghost was backing up my system C: drive before last week. I have yet to even try and use Ghost to see if it would successfully restore my OS but I've been using it to backup my C: drive anyways. Prior to last week it could backup my C: drive fine. I might try a Ghost restore point from a few weeks back before this happened but not sure yet[CODE]

Aug 31, 2011I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7 Business and went to connect to my wireless home network on a Linksys router and Win 7 detects other networks in the area, but my network SSID is not listed. I reset the router thinking that maybe the issue, but I havd another laptop and desktop and both are working fine with the network and router on the web.I then realized that Win 7 had in the available wireless listings a "unknown" network, when I select that network to connnect it ask for an SSID, It type in my SSID and it then connects to the internet.
BUt when I turnoff or reboot the laptop it will not automatically reconnect at start up. I have selected in the preferred wireless networks to connect automatically, but because it keeps seeing an unknown wireless network, I have to manually reconnect and re-type in my SSID.Does anyone know why Win7 keeps seeing my Linksys as an unknown network and how to make it reconnect automatically at startup.

Sep 17, 2011I am not really worried about this, just curious. My OS is win7 and I just finished copying a few hundred music videos from some DVD's to my PC. I decided to look at the properties of one of the videos and this is what I find under the security tab in the Group or user names box.
Account Unknown(S-1-5-80-random numbers...
I looked this up and found several bits and pieces of info but nothing to clearly describe what this is or why. These videos were downloaded and burned to DVD's on this same PC but an older OS, Win XP and a different user name. I am guessing this account unknown is because of the permissions granted by windows media player for the streamed info pertaining to artists and the names of their songs but I don't know for sure.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Suddenly Goes Into Sleep Mode - Unknown Error
Oct 14, 2011I cannot provide a BSOD error code/info because there was none generated; there was no BSOD. What happened was that I had a few applications open. MSN, Firefox, Opera, and Songbird are what I normally have open, and they never caused a problem before. Then I had Google Chrome open, which I do at times with no side effects, and was playing Angry Birds. The link I used to play is this one: Angry Birds Chrome, then after about an hour playing, the computer suddenly went into sleep mode. It refused to wake up. I had to force reboot it. It was able to load up just fine after that. I looked in the event logs and found nothing to determine the cause of the sudden sleep mode.
The only thing I did different is playing Angry Birds. I don't know if it being in HD had anything to do with it, or if Google Chrome just experienced a glitch that affected the entire system somehow, though I don't know the odds of that. Another thought I had was the problem was due to a storm outside. It was raining and thundering outside. A friend of mine suggested the issue may have been due to a partial power loss that was enough to knock the computer into sleep mode, but not strong enough to cause a full on power outage.
Unknown Device Connect At Windows 7 Login/startup
Apr 30, 2012I am in the process of configuring a new HP Z820 workstation. This thing is a beast and absolutely love the power. Just recently I started getting a strange device connection sound playing at login/startup. Just after the windows start up chime I hear the second device connect sound. I have nothing connected differently than I did a few days ago but all of a sudden this morning I now hear it. No USB HD's or flash drives connected.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to figure out what Windows was connecting at login? Heard Event viewer mentioned somewhere but no idea how to use this or where to look.
