Sitting on a laptop, doing this might be hard!

Yeah, not really sure what to do about that... Putting the computer in sleep mode or any other mode for that matter and then trying to reboot/wake it up leads to a freeze where nothing happens but the mouse is still usable though.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/30s7wy8q8tdphcu/summary_boot.xml Here is my latest summary boot! The latest changes I did was to rollback the driver to a previous version but this did not help at all.

Still having the same problems with my laptop. Will reinstalling a fresh copy of windows 7/8 remove all the recent driver installations ?

I'm not sure what file to choose! My current driver version is 12.8.0.1016, the latest, how do I reinstall this driver with this version properly? I'm guessing that there is some sort of misconfiguration that is the issue, so my best shot would be to reinstall the same driver?

According to my Device manager, that driver is allready up-to-date. Got any good reference material that covers how to reinstall drivers like these? And for some reason, I can't find the proper driver for this device in the Intel download center for windows 8! Thanks!

Hello there. I have recently stumbled upon this problem myself and I hope that I could get help with this. I've got a very long boottime and so I did the boot trace. The result showed that the problem lies in the preSMSS phase (bootStart). This is the xml file I generated from the trace: https://www.dropbox.com/s/30s7wy8q8tdphcu/summary_boot.xml I'm not super techsavy so I don't really know what to do from here... replace my chipset AHCI Controller driver? <phase name="bootStart" startTime="27" endTime="244154" duration="244127"> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_1E03+SUBSYS_15071043+REV_04\3+11583659+2+FA" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="282" endTime="240556" duration="240274" prePendTime="240274" description="Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller" friendlyName=""/> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_1E03+SUBSYS_15071043+REV_04\3+11583659+2+FA" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="240557" endTime="242675" duration="2118" prePendTime="2118" description="Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller" friendlyName=""/> <pnpObject name="SCSI\Disk+Ven_ATA+Prod_Hitachi_HTS54505\4+238af970+0+000000" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="242705" endTime="243413" duration="707" prePendTime="707" description="Disk drive" friendlyName="Hitachi HTS545050A7E380"/> <pnpObject name="ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="33" endTime="64" duration="31" prePendTime="31" description="Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System" friendlyName=""/> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_1E12+SUBSYS_15071043+REV_C4\3+11583659+2+E1" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="225" endTime="255" duration="31" prePendTime="31" description="Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 1E12" friendlyName=""/> <pnpObject name="ACPI\PNP0A08\0" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="105" endTime="134" duration="28" prePendTime="28" description="PCI Express Root Complex" friendlyName=""/> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_1E10+SUBSYS_15071043+REV_C4\3+11583659+2+E0" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="197" endTime="224" duration="27" prePendTime="27" description="Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 1E10" friendlyName=""/> </phase>What to make of this?
