slow boot

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard and have been running 4 gigs (4 x 1GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4; 4-4-4-12; 2.1 volts) on it with no problems. Windows 7 runs great. I decided to up the ante to 8 gigs RAM (4 x 2GB Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5; 5-5-5-18; 1.8 volts -- which is approved from...

I was running the Windows 7 beta, and I just finished installing the RC. Everytime I've booted up it's stayed on the Starting Windows screen for over a minute each time. I have a two 7200 RPM 32MB cache hard drives in RAID 0 and an e6750 running at 3.3ghz so the boot up time is ridiculous. The...

hi guys, I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 in which I installed Windows 7 32-bit client. It's worked wonders minus not having a sound driver for the past two months or so until recently. My laptop now takes about fifteen minutes to boot up, and I can't load any programs because when I click them...

My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot. Two questions 1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing? 2...

I just got Windows 7 today, and I really like it. One thing I noticed though is that it doesn't seem to boot faster than Vista, although many reviews said that it did. I did an upgrade from vista to windows 7, so my hard drive was not wiped. Everything loads pretty quickly except for when the PC...

Hello, Yesterday I've installed Windows 7057 (RC1), I upgraded it from 7048 with a mounted image. I already managed the problem with notepad starting up on each boot up but the new windows boots up for about 10 minutes and when it finally shows my desktop it keeps causing problems. I can move...

Hi, I recently added win7 / vista to my computer. The issue I am having is it takes a minimum of at least 4 minutes to boot up. When I push power up button I get the system count and then I get a curser in top left hand corner of my screen that sits there for 3 minutes before I get a message of...

I'm a novice. I've read lots of posts at this web site and figured I'd just ask those who seem to know more than I. With my limited knowledge, I've been in regedit & bios (big whoop!) a couple of times when instructed by tech support people but that's about it. I set up the home network and...

For some days i am really facing a problem but cant recognize the cause for the problem. I just do a reinstall everytime when i see the problem. Its related to the booting of windows vista home premium. I have separated the booting process in four stages. 1. The Microsoft Corporation logo with...
