MagicAndre1981 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 - <timing bootDoneViaExplorer="46262" bootDoneViaPostBoot="109662" booting to the UI takes 46s and the system is booted in 90s. This is bad.The first delay happen in the PreSMSS phase, where the ACPI driver takes long to init: <pnpObject name="\Driver\ACPI" type="Driver" activity="Init" startTime="4859" endTime="17021" duration="12162" prePendTime="12162" /> <pnpObject name="ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="17022" endTime="19561" duration="2538" prePendTime="2538" description="Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System" friendlyName="" /> I see that loading the hwpolicy.sys happens here.The boot process is slow because the HDD is busy for a longer time.Looks like you need a SSD to improve the boot.
j9900090 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Sorry to be a little simple MagicAndre, I do my best to read and follow whats going on, but I'm not exactly on your level!What can I do about this? Are you just saying I need a new SSD (A new Hard drive basically?) If so Do you think that mine is just old and needs replacing (Its been working fine for ages and I've defragged and run the relevant HDD test on it from WD and Seagate one (I have 2 HDDs)) My PC used to boot in about 30secs then suddenly it takes 10mins to boot. Nothing has changed as far as I'm aware.Else Can I reload the ACPI driver? Would that help?hwpolicy.sys is this right? > Microsoft Windows Hardware Policy Driver system driver fileCan I just remove this driver and if so how?Thanks in advance for putting up with nub questionsPSbooting to the UI takes 46s and the system is booted in 90s. This is bad.OH yes!!!!! ;-) Edited December 22, 2013 by j9900090
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 I have no idea what the hwpolicy.sys does and why this is listed as ACPI.You have so many programs to load, that a normal HDD is too slowly.
Thajjd Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Still having the same problems with my laptop. Will reinstalling a fresh copy of windows 7/8 remove all the recent driver installations ?
flys Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Hi Andre,I bought a new SSD and installed Win8 on it, however it takes >5 minutes to boot. I uploaded a trace here:https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8C61D2826A9723A4%212463I noticed a lot of "The IO operation at logical block address 1244e206 for Disk 0 was retried." events in event viewer. Also an error about "The shadow copies of volume \\?\Volume{7257efcf-6d40-11e3-be65-806e6f6e6963} were aborted during detection because a critical control file could not be opened." Could it be the SSD is bad? I uploaded the system log here:https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8C61D2826A9723A4%212644Thanks! Edited December 25, 2013 by flys
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 In the HDD graphs I see that both drives are busy for a long time. I would connect them to a different SATA port and try different cables.
Thajjd Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 https://www.dropbox.com/s/30s7wy8q8tdphcu/summary_boot.xmlHere 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.
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 starting the SATA controller is still slow:- <phase name="bootStart" startTime="32" endTime="244183" duration="244151"> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_8086+DEV_1E03+SUBSYS_15071043+REV_04\3+11583659+2+FA" type="Device" activity="Start" startTime="243" endTime="240511" duration="240267" prePendTime="240267" description="Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller" friendlyName="" />
Thajjd Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 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.
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 connect your HDD to a different SATA port. Does this help?
Thajjd Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Sitting on a laptop, doing this might be hard!
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 open the laptop, remove the HDD and insert it again. This helped for a friend of my.
winstonl Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 hi andre! i'm having a tough time figuring out what is slowing my computer as it is waking from hibernation. currently running windows 8.1 on a samsung laptop (ativ book 8) and when i awake it from hibernation, it takes a good 5-8 minutes before it is usable. this has only happened over the past few days and it was otherwise ok. didn't update any drivers/install anything during this time. so i'm wondering where is the problem. i've created the etl trace. would you be willing to help take a quick look? if you are, i'd upload it onto skydrivecheers! and happy new year
MagicAndre1981 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 yes, upload it to the skydrive. But make sure you've used the 8.1 version of the WPT to capture the trace.
