MagicAndre1981 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 When he came to me with it I was forced to zero the bios, because the computer would start...stop...start...stop etcthis must be something with the BIOS. the trace is ok,.
bookie32 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Hi mate!God you are on the ball today.... I was wondering if I should run a program called driver verifier to see if that turns up anything...Thanks for checking for me...I looked in the log and didn't find anything either...bookie32
zeuspimple Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hey Andre, could you take a look at my trace file? I am experiencing some very slow boot times. The SMSSInit Phase takes 30+ seconds. In your guide you suggested that the graphic card driver might be the problerm, but I already have the latest installed. http://rapidshare.com/#!download|778l3|456758021|trace.rar|22539Thx in advance!

Anyhow, it's booting a lot quicker now.I don't use any IDE devices, but I'm not sure how to disable these. Checked UEFI but didn't see anything about disabling IDE. I have a ASRock P67 pro3 mobo.Appreciate the help!
MagicAndre1981 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 ok, make a system restore point and try to disable them in the device manager.After doing this, run the optimization I linked in the first post. If this doesn't speedup run a new trace (this time, let Windows count down the 120s).

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) disable the ATA channel 0 and 1 but create a system restore point first, if you can't boot. Edited April 10, 2011 by MagicAndre1981
zeuspimple Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) disable the ATA channel 0 and 1 but create a system restore point first, if you can't boot.Had to run another chkdsk because for some reason it took 3+ minutes to boot. The chkdsk fixed it but it's kind of frustrating not knowing what's causing the issues. Disabled those and ran the optimization. Here's the link to the new trace: http://rapidshare.com/files/457094640/TEMP.rarCant really say I've noticed any improvements. Edited April 12, 2011 by zeuspimple
MagicAndre1981 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) it's much better. The ReadyBoot prefetcher is now trained very well (you have good prefetch and hit values, the cache misses are gone)<timing bootDoneViaExplorer="16735" bootDoneViaPostBoot="36835"Your Windows boots in round 17s to the desktop and is booted completely in 27s.most time is needed to start all startup apps (Google, AMD CCC, µtorrent, Samsung Tools, Adobe programs). So reduce the amount of started tools with AutoRuns. Edited April 12, 2011 by MagicAndre1981

tbridges42 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 O MagicAndre, please tell me what's going on with my hibernation trace. I'm tired of waiting five minutes for a resume.
MagicAndre1981 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 - <resumedevices start="130558281" duration="71321941">- <device start="130558320" duration="70936117" name="ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0"> <driver start="130558323" duration="70936109" name="\Driver\ACPI" /> <driver start="201494434" duration="2" name="\Driver\ACPI_HAL" /> </device>Resuming the ACPI driver is slow and takes 71seconds. Update the BIOS, load the default BIOS settings and try it again.
tbridges42 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Thank you! Updating the BIOS did it, though it may or may not have been related to AMD Overdrive, which broke when the BIOS changed.
