Windows 7 Long Boot Time And Constant Activity Signs?

Jun 18, 2012

I've been using Windows 7 since it was released and never had to reinstall so far.Unfortunately my System seems to have developed some issues which make work with the computer rather tedious. I have the impression that the issues are all related to a massive boot delay. Windows takes some 4-7 Minutes to boot. The masive delay starts after the logon screen. I have not been able to find out what is going on here and where the timeloss occurs. Once the machine has become usable - i observe some serious disc activity (led blinking constantly. This can go on for minutes.

I already tried to deactivate unnecessary startup programs, scan for malware. I frequently let ccleaner sweep the system.'d be very happy to see some opinions about this behaviour and perhaps find a way to resolve the issue, so I do not have to reinstall from scratch. I am aware that there is an inplace repair function in Windows 7 - this however only works with a system CD that contains Windows 7+sp1+all important updates. As I only have the original system CD I would like to avoid setting up a working boot cd.ps:[CODE]

CPU Load Stays At 15 Percent After Windows Updates - Constant Disk Activity

May 5, 2012

Just got a brand new Samsung Series 7 laptop and everything was working fine until i started installing windows updates. The cpu is now stuck at around 15% load and there's constant disk activity too. I run msconfig.exe and disabled programs that I don't really use much, run disk defrag just too make sure the disk was working well. As a result my cpu is running hot (65 degrees) and the battery drains pretty quick.

Constant Hard Drive Activity

Oct 29, 2009

I installed Windows 7 RC. When ever I am booted into Windows 7 one of my hard drives (probably not system drive - sounds like my secondary storage drive) is constantly working. Not very much but still making sounds.

I have completely turned off indexation, there is no automatic defrag going on. I have set a constant size to the paging file and there is no antivirus activity going on. The hard drive is making noise even when the system is idle for a long time and also when I am using it.

The processes tab in the task monitor shows no process that is using CPU.

What can this hard drive activity be?

Constant Disk Activity On New Laptop Slowing EVERYTHING Down?

Dec 27, 2011

Just got a new Acer aspire laptop for christmas. Everything works fine except that every time I turn it on or wake it up, there's about a 10 minute period of non-stop disk activity that causes every other application to come to a grinding hault.I downloaded process monitor and checked it out, and found the two most-accessed files are two TMP files called MSI7895.tmp and MSI8BDA.tmp, both in the Windows installer directory. No idea what either of these files are for.I'm thinking this has something to do with the tons of bloatware that came on this laptop. It's a 2.3 GHz, quad-core CPU with 4GB of RAM. I'd just really like to stop this so it doesn't take 3 minutes to open an Explorer window

Fresh Installation Of Windows 7 Taking Long Time O Boot?

Apr 8, 2011

I have Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop, Intel core i3 2 GB ram and 320 gb hardrive. I was running windows 7 home bsic edition 32bit on it.Everything was going fine.Then I saw some files in my E: drive with the .dll exension which i think were reated to the microsoft visual C++ enviroment and i deleted them .Lap top was sill running fine. But when I shut it down and turned on again it gave an error on startup that "one or more peripheral devices may have been removed imporperly". So I formaed my C: drive, where windows was installed and re-installed windows 7 basic 32 bit. Bu even a fresh copy of windows was taking 5 to 6 minutes to boot up after the "windows is starting screen" but eventually it did start. when I tried installing my drivers it gave an error that the drivers are not supported by this system.

And I know the drivers are the correct one because I have used them before with this same windows and same laptop. So I again formatted my C: drive and this time installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. But the problem is same it takes 5 to 6 minutes on the "windows is starting screen" and then eventully starts up. And I ran "HDTune" software to see if if my hardrive was okay....and it gave no errors. I even set my bios to "restore default setings" but still no luck.I even tried disk de-fragmenation.....and yeah the drivers wont install even in the windows 7 ultimte 64 bit edition.

Boot Time Is Quite Long?

Aug 21, 2012

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.

Windows 7 Taking A Long Time To Resume From Hibernate?

Mar 25, 2010

I just upgraded my HP TX252NR laptop to an Intel X25-M 160 GB SSD. I did a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have 3 GB of RAM. My laptop takes about 70 sec from a cold boot to login. This is much faster than the 5400 rpm drive and Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My problem is that if I hibernate the laptop it takes over 3 minutes for it to get to the point I can login. The resuming Windows screen comes up in about 20 sec which is roughly how long it takes to get to the starting Windows screen, then it seems to hang here anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. The disk activity indicator is off and the CPU fan is running full speed. My disk score is 7.6 and my processor score is 4.8. I have update the SSD firmware to the latest. I have updated the laptop to the latest BIOS as well. Win 7 is updated with all the latest patches.

Windows 7 Folders Taking A Long Time To Access Files?

Dec 6, 2011

I could not find the correct thread to post so please accept my apologies if this is an old resolved bug.This has been winding me for a while now, but today it has totally done my head in.! when I access my music folders from external USB and I click on a folder the grey bar at the top of the folder window takes ages to move across... then I get the red cross in the button. This is a major problem now, the cpu fan goes crazy and well its quite disturbing.To get around this I would access my file from within the music editing software to avoid this problem, but as I'm a Mastering Engineer I need to access the files in their respective folders.

This was never a problem on any other machine I have had before. All drives are fine tested on other machines. They are good. So today I tried it again, same thing. The grey bar at the top went crazy when I tried to access a wav folder to master with 2.5 gigs of data in.The grey bar at the top slowly moves across the top then the red cross thing again in the button, I refresh and the same thing again. Meanwhile the fan goes on and the thing then seems to hang on finding files in folders. So I back out of the folder close it down. Then I went to My computer on the start menu... erm the grey bar again slowly moves to the right, No C drive shows up is empty and the fan kicks in and it sounds like it is going to take off.Then I have to close the machine down as it cannot find anything in thefolders.This is very strange indeed. This only happen when I search for files in folders before hand, normally I can see my drives when I click my computer.I have just rebooted the laptop now and it is good but when I open a folder it goes nuts.

Long Time Booting Up

Dec 12, 2009

I'm having problem with Windows 7 on my laptop. I had beta version up to recently because I didn't use it much, but few days ago I decided to install retail version which I also have on my PC, so I know that dvd works.

It's 64bit(beta version was too) and my laptop can handle it. MSI Gx620.

Now problem is, when I install it all goes well, but then it gets to Loading Windows screen, with 4 part logo that flashes and just stands there, for like 20 minutes. And then boots up and all is fine! In beta version I didn't have that problem.

I tried booting up in safe mode and it was stuck again for long time on this thing: CLASSPNP.SYS

I did full format and fresh install every time. I tested 2 Vista's I had, 1 worked fine, the other one had same problem.

I tried repair and it was doing it for very very long time and finnaly said that it cant be done automatic and check online with this in details:

Problem signature:
Problem Event name : StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 0
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 1
Problem Signature 07: NoRootCause
POS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

At event viewer it says like 4.20 windows start up, 4:30 starts loading some applications. and 10 min gap between it.

I am going to try to update bios with newest version from site as soon as I manage to boot from USB, for some reason it won't boot up(says missing ntldr) and will post if that fixes it.

Please tell me what to do or try, maybe if it hardware fault I can send it back to service to get it fixed but first gotta find out whats the problem.

PC Seems To Take A Long Time To Restart

Aug 28, 2012

1. I am getting a 'searchplugin' folder on my desktop all the time aswell as some admin folders that are completely empty. I can delete them but is there anyway to permanetly stop this? I've heard it can be to do with the internet browser you use? And I do have some stupid internet browsers that arn't Google but is that the problem?

2. My PC seems to take a long time to restart (Not boot, but when I click restart for an update to kick in or something). Sometimes it takes a matter of seconds, sometimes it's quite a bit longer. But if I then hold the power button and then restart the PC manually it's quick booting up. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

3. My PC doesn't actually come out of sleep mode. I'm hving the problem that when I try to wake the PC up nothing happens. I'v set the mouse to wake it up but nothing. The weird thing is the PC starts to boot up (coming out of sleep) but then just powers down again. This continues until I hold the power button down and turn it back on. Now, I've turned sleep off and it's fine but I'd like to know if there is a way to solve this for future reference.

Some Processes Take A Long Time To Close?

Aug 30, 2011

Not sure if I'm using proper terminology here, but sometimes I'll close a program and quikcly open it again and the program will be non-responsive. It usually happens when I close a video player to start a new video, or close a browser to open up a fresh collection of tabs (or just to close it because some of the currently open tabs are being buggy) noticed that when I Control-Alt-Delete, the appliactions list is clean, but the program I was running is still listed under "Processes". And sometimes it takes so long to go away I have to force it closed myself. I'm not sure how normal this is, or if it's a sign of an unhealthy computer
