Fast Cold Boot, Slow Boot after restart


Philippeam

Recommended Posts

HP Pavilion DV6-6C10US 6G RAM Windows 8 (I had same problem under Windows7)

Cold boot is acceptably fast (10-15sec. to Welcome Screen,no BIOS prompt) but boot after restart takes 3 to 5 minutes and there is a BIOSprompt. I do not understand where the differencecomes from. If more info is needed can Iuse the “BIOS logging” of Windows 8)

..... Windows 8 (I had same problem under Windows7)....

I felt a similar problem to yours some time ago. In my case all troubles were caused by an almost empty motherboard battery. I only had to replace it and everything went OK.

MagicAndré,

1) No your two questions

2) Apologize for the length of the message, my cut and paste did not work the way I thought it would

3) I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, which I understand may give different results in the boot operations (?). I will have to do a clean install in the future because of that and a few other desktop/metro conflicts, but I just don't have the time now.

4) I now understand that the "cold" boot in W8 is because in fact it is a wake up from hibernation. I assume that when it is a restart, they have to go through the BIOS/UEFI loop (??). In W7 both cold start and restart were slow.

5) I have been trying to find back your tutorial for tracing the boot process. Will it apply to W8

6) There is in W8 an option for Boot logging, would that help?

Based on an old sysinternal I assume, but cannot be sure, that there is some HP health program involved????

Thanks for your help.

Amitiés

Not sure what happened:

1) Started–trace boot: went well gave me two .etl files in C:\TEMP

2) Tryto start -trace hibernate got a message -trace hibernate cannot get started

3) Irestarted the computer and the –trace boot restarted spontaneously leaving twofiles in C:\TEMP

Boot_base+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.cab 2MEG and

Boot_base+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl 553 Meg!!

What were my mistakes??

Thanks

Thanks for your patience Magic Andre.

My stupid mistake was that I never pushed "Finish" on the "Delay for 120 seconds" panel and xbootmgr continued to trace and did not modify the autorun, hence the ginormous files, the impossibility to start another trace and the trace restarting after a restart!

For each trace I got two files one .cab and one .etl I have enclosed all for in the Zip as well as the Xbootmgr logs.

Thanks

Magicandre I lack experience with the forum. Just noticed it says "0 bytes of your 500K global upload quota used (Max. file 500K) "but the zip is 92 Mega (the boot .etl is 750 Mega before compression). How can I resolve the issue?

Thanks

P.M.
