Windows 7 Windows 7 Glacial Slow AFTER Install

[Squirrel Hunter]

Had the common problem of Windows 7 Professional installing very slowly. Removed the 2 - 6 USB port cards – only cards installed, disabled the USB port and floppy drive in the BIOs and removed all but one stick of memory. The installation went fine. Rebooted several times, could go on-line, everything seemed fine. Enabled the USB & Floppy in the BIOs, added the four 1 Gig sticks of memory and two USB cards. Now the computer is back to being glacial slow. Tried tuning off the USBs & floppy, separately and together. Different variation in the memory…. All for not. Any help would appreciated.
Asus P5B SS – Intel – Quad Core.
4 x 1 Gig of memory
ATI Radeon HD 4350
SSD – Kingston 128 Gig – Where Windows is Installed.
2 x 500 Gig Western digitals.

Found this on the forum. Did not work. Cleared Window's installs choice of video driver and installed the current ATI drive.....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

From this Forum:
I did it
I'm so happy. What I did?
I have search a lot at this forum all my free time. I was sure that I could find the solution.
I boot up at save mode.
Then I went to my computer then properties, then my hardware, and I deactivated the two drivers installed for the graphic card.
Reboot and VUALA.....everything was working perfect. This is all I did.
I would like to thank you all that have read my message.
I will still reading here at the forum.
A very big thanks to the poster off the topic where I found my solution. Sorry but as I have opened many pages I can find where I have seen it.

It seems like you are facing issues with Windows 7 Professional installation being very slow after making hardware changes to your system. Let's address the steps you have taken and see if we can provide some assistance: 1. Initial Troubleshooting Steps Taken: - Removed extra USB port cards, disabled USB ports and floppy drive in the BIOS, and removed surplus memory sticks for a successful installation. - System worked fine after this initial setup. 2. Recurring Slowness After Re-enabling Hardware: - Slowness returned after enabling USB & floppy in BIOS, adding back memory sticks, and USB cards. 3. System Specifications: - Asus P5B SS motherboard with an Intel Quad Core processor. - Configuration: - 4 x 1GB memory sticks. - ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card. - Kingston 128GB SSD where Windows is installed. - 2 x 500GB Western Digital hard drives. 4. Attempted Solution Found on Forum: - Tried clearing Windows' choice of the video driver and reinstalling the latest ATI driver, but the issue persisted. 5. Additional Steps: - You mentioned trying variations with USB and floppy settings, as well as different memory configurations, without any success. 6. Potential Solutions: - It appears that the graphics card drivers might be causing the issue. Since disabling the drivers in Safe Mode temporarily resolved the slowness issue, it could point to a driver conflict. - Try the following: - Boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the graphics card drivers completely. - Reboot the system and let Windows install default drivers for the graphics card. - Check if the system performance improves without the ATI drivers. - If the system runs smoothly with default drivers, download and install the latest drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 4350 from the official ATI website. 7. Further Recommendations: - Ensure all drivers for your hardware components are up to date. - Check for any BIOS updates for your Asus P5B SS motherboard. - Monitor system performance using Task Manager to identify any specific processes causing high CPU or memory usage. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the slowness issue on your Windows 7 system. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any difficulties during the process.
