5 minutes boot times terrible performance... Vista 64bit

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 22:52

Finally got vista 64bit to install on my newly built rig, (Intel Q6600, tuniq tower, 8GB OCZ PC5400, Gigabyte P35 DS3R, two sata ODD's two sata HDD's and an 8800GTX OC) I installed my mobo drivers, graphics card drivers, all of which took forever. Whenever I reset it takes about 2 minutes to shut down and 5-6 minutes to boot up into desktop, inside vista 64bit I get constant hangups, and idle at about anywhere from 5-40% CPU usages across all four cores. WHAT IS GOING ON!?!

What PSU have you got?

Also have you made sure you have set the manufacturers stated speed, timings and voltages?

Could you post a screenshot of your Task Manager please,Like the one of mine below...

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:04

!

Corsair 620W, and nope it's all is it is out of the box, I noticed the ram was running at half it's rated MHZ in CPU-Z though.

Edit- Yep i'll post some SS soon as i've installed something!

Yes, some of the time you will have to manually set your Memory speed, timings and Voltages.

They are most likely wrong.

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:08

Ok, this won't void my warranty will it? Also, can it be done in bios, and if so...how?

JamesU2005 · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:11

Show us a print screen of CPU-Z which might help.

It wont void your warranty at all. Your only setting what the manufacturer has stated for that product.

Anyway go into your BIOS, you might have to hunt around for the right section.

Now to set the correct speed

DRAM Frequency should be set to 667MHZ.

Finally the Memorys voltages should be set to 1.8V

Now you will most likely have to go into North Bridge Settings (not sure what the BIOS layout is on your Motherboard) to get to the Memory timings.

Then set the following:

5 - CAS
5 - TRCD
5 - TRP
15 TRAS

Thats your Memory timmings.

Then save and exit.

Ok i'll set those now then.
heres some screenshots TM and cpu-z;

JamesU2005 · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:36

Your CPU is underclocked or that thing that brings the CPU clock up and down when not under load.

What is Snagit32 & SnagPriv :eek:

There your CPU usage problem..

Sorry but if you dont know what the above is, how can you possibly say thats whats causing the slow down?

Snagit32 = Cpu usage 24

To the OP

Try end process on Snagit32 & SnagPriv and cpu what your CPU usage changes to..

JamesU2005 · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:43

Look at your FSB! It's way below!

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:49

OK, heres the showstopper...;

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

CPU could be throttling, check cooler and temps

mattyrigby00 · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:50

try using msconfig (or vistas equivalent) to stop things you dont need from loading on startup

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:50

What program can I use to check temps?

braz2kuk · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:50

Sorry forgot to say, turn off EIST, Throttling, Intel thermal thingy in bios mine stopped throttling after that.

Samione · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:51

I'm pretty much certain this is nothing to do with the programs on startup, as no programs open on startup, and also I was using snagit to take screenies.
