I am having the same problem with my windowsxp computer,after the electric went out my computer stays on that black boot up screen for exactly 7 minutes and then it starts to boot into windows and everything loads up fast.I have tried everything all these other guys have been telling you to do ,and nothing worked.I think you need to make a copy of your boot up options from a boot disk and copy it to your windows directory.sounds like you have a corrupt boot up file.I have done this once before and fixed the problem.Now I have a battery backup for my computer so when the electric goes out my comp. could this be a sign of mine failing also? or if it did have something wrong with it would it just not work at all? please let me know what you guys think. Part of me still thinks its psu related (model info updated) my brother has the same psu and it no longer works. Drag the slider to Best performance on the right side.

#PC TAKING A LONG TIME TO BOOT PC#
Are there any bios settings I should be making sure of also in regards to sata? You can check your storage capacity by pressing the Windows Key, typing PC and clicking This PC. Ok so from what I gather this could be hdd or sata cable related, so the next thing to try is replace the sata cable for the main drive and possibly defragment the main drive. Shovenose: yep, sorry i meant socket 939 Getting into the bios alone is extremely slow and I havent managed to do that yet, though I'll try to check the diagnostics if I can get into it.
#PC TAKING A LONG TIME TO BOOT SOFTWARE#
Yeah this definately isn't a software problem as once it gets to the windows loading bar everything seems fine.Īhh I was thinking the csmos battery, but thats a good point about it reseting on every reboot. now down to psu or mobo or sata interface. Tested with mbr, pre-partitioned and ntfs format with hdd dock. it is such a waste that i recently replaced gfx in desktop. so i've put it in NAS and use it as XFS on GPT, no issue at all. now with new hdd i tried to restore images to it or start new win7 installation it isnt detected by them hence no joy to recover. It tends to have this issue before i sent in HDD for RMA but back then it was still able to load to windows. When the system was built and the OS was a fresh install, were you having the same issues?


If windows hangs after the windows splash screen, its loading drivers, start-up programs and anti-virus and what all is installed (including malware, fluff appz, and idle crap). Once windows is loaded and running for a minute or two - right click on the taskbar, left click task manager, at the bottom of the window, it'll say how many proceeses are running, how much memory is used and cpu load.
