Vista taking much longer to boot after upgrading the CPU

[kcznsk]

I had an i5 650 on this desktop, then I decided to upgrade it to an i7 870, but for some reason it's taking about 5 minutes to boot from hdd (it'd take about a minute before), and the computer got slower as well.

I tried reinstalling the chipset drivers but nothing changed.

From what I tested, the CPU is about 60°C idle, could it be because of this?

Does anyone know what the cause might be?

60C idle? I think that's a little too high

my i7 3770 is like 65c when in full load

try to reseat the cooler

Definitely high.

My i7-4770 runs 40c +/- 2 at idle.

I tried reseating the cooler but it didn't help.

I'm using the i5 stock cooler, should I get a new one?

Still, would it affect this much the performance of the i7? It's much slower than the i5.

Would reinstalling windows vista fix the fact that it's taking 5 minutes to boot as opposed to 1?

 

Edit: I put the i5 back in and it's taking about 40 seconds to get to the login screen. Could there be something wrong with this i7?

have you tried updating the motherboard's bios to the latest version?

I figured what the problem was, it had nothing to do with the OS.

I had 2x4GB + 2x2GB RAM, after I removed the 2x2GB the computer was taking the same time as before to boot. I don't know why but apparently this was making the i7 870 boot slower while not affecting the i5 650.

Now everything is fine.

I still suggest you to update the bios to the latest version (if the current version that you have is outdated) and try again with all sticks of ram
