adnedarn Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks! I'll look into the errors thing and see about re-running it. You are correct- my HDD stays active for a long time when I boot up.... I've moved my HDD to AHCI in BIOS, uninstalled ZoneAlarm, uninstalled AMD CCC, and disabled QBFMonitorService. I left Windows IMage Acquisition service since I do use my scanner/webcam/cameras often. (If I understand that service correctly I need those). Startup still seems super slow I've sent a new trace. THANK YOU!Andrew Edited January 6, 2013 by adnedarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 yes, boot is still slow. What I can see is that the enumeration of the IDE drives takes over 10s:pnpObject name="PCIIDE\IDEChannel\4+3803e7e3+0+1" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="362" endTime="11862" duration="11501" prePendTime="0" description="IDE Channel" friendlyName="ATA Channel 1" /> Which IDE devices do you have connected? The disk is still the issue. It is busy during boot nearly all the time. Remove as much as tools as you can. A possible solution would be using a SSD as systemdrive and use the HDD only to store data on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnedarn Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I see, Maybe I changed the sata settings for the wrong controller, I will double check (there are two on this motherboard). By tools do you mean spyware/antivirus/optimization stuff? I don't think there are anymore on here. I only had zonealarm and malwarebytes- malwarebytes I had removed a few days ago. For hardware I have a 1 dvd drive, 1 dvd rw, 1 floppy drive, 1 sata HDD, video card, audio card.Thanks,AndrewYep, I activated it on the wrong sata plugs.... So I did the other and got BSOD. Maybe I'll try plugging the drive into the other sata plug and see what that does. Edited January 6, 2013 by adnedarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I mean remove all programs that you don't really need. If you need the all, buy a SSD. Your HDD is too slow to handle them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intzepatorii Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Magic and many thanks for helping us improving our computers!I found you when searching for ways to reduce the boot time and I did it! from about 120 secs to about 30 secs... (I load avast after all services and I made also a few similar tweaks for Teamviewer etc.).I still have two issues though:1. I can't reduce the time needed for resuming from hibernation.... It's resuming in about 70 secs now...First of all I had about 180 secs, then I stopped the superfetch service and got 70 secs... I made a few tweaks thanks to you and I re-enabled superfetch and managed to keep the 70 secs time.My hibernation file is half of RAM (4/2=2 GB). and RAM in use is 1.5 GB when I put it to hibernate. I tried also the 100% and 75% size and the difference in resuming speed is pretty low if among them.I still think it's too much time though only to resume from hibernation and first of all I would like to know only if it's possible to reduce it.2. I don't have any event in the event viewer - windows - diagnostics performance - operational...They stopped logging one year ago, I cleared them, did all sort of things I found out on the internet but without success...Also when opening the event file from Windows Prefetch/Ready boot folder it says I have some events lost and I should run some help query in the commander prompt (pretty useless), then the program is having a problem and it closes.I had some time ago several partitions of my drive formatted by Mac Os and and LinuxOpenSuse, maybe they interfered with the MBR and that's why the problems? The respective time I was using a GRUB 2 bootloader.In order to hibernate again I gave up both of them and everything is formatted in NTFS now.My computer is a MSI G41M4-F MB with Intel G41 chipset, E5700 DualCore processor, 4 GB of RAM, 1 TB Sata II, Realtek Network/Sound, GeForce GT 7300.Thank you in advance!

MagicAndre1981 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Generate the hibernation XML and look at the suspend, resume and hibernation file read/write times. What is slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intzepatorii Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 thanks, i've generated it.where should I look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 reading the hibernation file is slow:hiberread="90076000"Is your HDD running in AHCI mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intzepatorii Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I believe not as I don't find any option in Bios and I already updated it several days ago. also the MSI doesn't tell anything as far as my level of understading... I still have SATA II but I don't know whether also AHCI.can you please check: MSI G41M4-F is the Mobo.should I reinstall the OS and choose AHCI when installing? (if it's possible, otherwise I leave it this way).Thanks for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 ok, your board has the ICH7, which doesn't support AHCI Try to update the BIOS, maybe this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intzepatorii Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 still happy with the boot time. so no more hiberfil. thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 How long does it boot? Run the boot trace and look at the boot XML. YOu can try the hotfixes from here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=152622and optimize boot if the ReadyBoot graph shows a lot of black:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=140262 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
