Recently built new PC. Installed Windows 7 RC build 7100 64bit.
Issue 1:
Sometimes boot takes 10+ minutes.
Sometimes won't boot past "Windows is Starting Up" screen.
Sometimes boots in under 30 seconds.
Issue 2:
Sometimes takes 10+ minutes to shut down.
Sometimes Won't shut down past "Windows is Shutting Down" screen.
Sometimes shuts down in under 30 seconds.
I need to try the clean-boot, but this literally was a clean install, not an upgrade, on a newly rebuilt PC. Runs great once I am in...with 2 exceptions...on two occasions Windows 7 froze while I was attempting to load both IE8 and another program simultaneously. All of the drivers are Windows 7/Windows 7 compliant (where available).
PC:
mobo: Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition (straight speed, no OC)
video: EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 1792MB (single card)
memory: Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X PC8500 (BiOS set to 1066mHz) (8GB 2x2x2)
hdd: WD 500GB SATA 7500
