Really slow boot into Windows?

Gast · 11 Dec 2011 at 18:26

Ive just recently got my new build up and running. Specs are i52500k, asrock xtreme4 gen3, 8gb ram, 5850 gfx card and 1tb samsung.

The install is pretty new (like 2 days)...only programs on it are firefox, updated drivers and windows stuff. Thats it. Yet booting into windows on Startup is taking in the region of 1min 20 secs or slow. For a fresh build on that kinda hardware that seems quite slow to me :/

Is it slow, or am I just being very impatient with my pc? And if it is slow, any ideas on how I can speed things up? And advice appreciated.

(It is a Samsung F3) Ive cut back on everything starting up on boot and ran cc cleaner as well. Still looking well over a minute to get into windows. I cant believe a fresh install would be this slow :/

have you checked your ram ? could be faulty

RAM is being detected fine tho not checked for errors. It seems to me that it went really slow after Windows ran through a massive update (over 90 odd or something). Since then its been sluggish and actually going on as long as a min 30 to boot now :/

Are you doing a thorough boot or quick boot ? Is you motherboard new or second hand ? If its second hand take the battery out and leave it for ten minutes then put it back in and reboot . Up date your drivers and bios .

Motherboard is brand new. And just doing a normal boot and all drivers etc are 100% upto date.

Have you checked the event log for any errors, or maybe corrupt updates that may have trouble installing?

Where does it take the time? Is it getting to the windows loading screen then waiting or does it take ages to get to the loading screen?

I presumed you're on W7 w/8Gb, had a quick google about bootvis for W7.
I didn't dig too deep but this link may get you started:
