Nimso Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I just updated all of my drivers from Gigabytes website, and it is still taking the 3.5 minutes to load. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimso Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) I walked away the last time that it booted and when I got back, it was scrolling some text. (black screen with white text) im assuming it was a disk check, but im not sure... i rebooted then and it started up how it usually does, 3.5 mins.

Nimso Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) i just disabled gsata and usb 3.0 in the bios, and windows loaded in like 10 seconds.... way shorter... i can try to turn one on and see if its one, or both of them now...**Edit** I just tested, and usb 3.0 works, but whenever i have sata 6g enabled, it does the long boot. i disabled usb3.0 and enabled sata 6g and it took 3.5 mins to load windows, the same as with usb3.0 and sata 6g enabled. it only loads in 10 secs when i have sata 6g disabled.

BuckeyeInWi Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Andre, First, thanks for all the time you spend on this. My Windows 7 installation started acting strangely after I moved My Documents to a secondary drive, so I made an image copy, wiped the boot partition and reinstalled. Because I have an Upgrade license, I did not activate on 1st install, shutdown and "upgraded" the original Windows 7 install. This seemed to work well except that the shutdown now takes 3:52 to 3:55 (m:ss). Other than Windows and MS Updates, I installed Avast Free v5 and an AD1888 sound driver from the motherboard vendor in XP compatibility mode. The motherboard is PC Chips Goal 3+. When I use xbootmgr -trace shutdown -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath D:\TEMP the result always shows 15 or 16 seconds to shutdown, instead of nearly 4 minutes. Here is the link to the trace:http://cid-a79fe3f6b8b4fd21.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?resid=A79FE3F6B8B4FD21!102My original upgrade of Windows 7 (from XP SP3) shutdown in approximately 1:10 to 1:40.Any ideas?Thanks again,Buckeye Edited October 11, 2010 by BuckeyeInWi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 correct, the trace says that it takes 16s to shutdown (5s to stop all running programs, 3s to stop the services and the rest is to shutdown Windows itself).The trace doesn't show anything why it should take 4minutes.

BuckeyeInWi Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 correct, the trace says that it takes 16s to shutdown (5s to stop all running programs, 3s to stop the services and the rest is to shutdown Windows itself).The trace doesn't show anything why it should take 4minutes.I just did a restart, and found that it does indeed Restart in 15 to 16 seconds. It's only a shutdown that takes nearly 4 minutes. This is quite odd, but I guess I can live with it. Thanks again,Buckeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmond Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi,could you be so kind, and check my trace?here is url:http://hotfile.com/dl/77388281/771a0f3/trace.zip.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Your Windows needs 21s to shutdown completely. Closing all running programs takes 10s. Here it takes 6s to stop taskhost.exe. Stopping the services takes 5s. The rest is shutting down Windows itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmond Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hello,thx a lot for checking it. I'm wondering why my Lenovo W500 with Win7 shuts down within 5-10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 make a trace and share this new trace, so that I can look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if other user have they can find it here. But I don't unerstand why a ATAPI/IDE drive is the cause of slow loading when you enable SATA3.
