sorry if this is posted in the wrong section but im wondering if anyone could help me with my PC. for the last few weeks its been slow in booting up. when it goes to the black screen and says Windows Start up it stays like that for a good minute and a half before the 4 coloured badge starts to appear. you can hear the hard drive loading. apart from the booting up issue the hard drive seems to work fine. Windows and drivers are also up to date. Ive disabled all non esential programs from the startup and ive scanned the pc with malwarebytes. any idea what it could be? The hard drive im using is a Samsung 250gb ssd.
slow boot windows 7
- Thread starter aj1soad
- Start date
yeh i do have one mechanical drive as well. it boots up fine in safe mode. also ive noticed if i havent shut down the pc properly and the window pops up on start up and i chose to start windows normally and it goes to the windows start up screen it loads perfectly fine with no delay.
thanks for all the replys. after seeing that some of the error messages in the event viewer were related to pnp i disconnected a few things and it boots up fine now after i disconnected a NorthQ card reader. should i upgrade to windows 10 anyway? thanks for all the help
