[Jelly Bean]

Thankyou babe thats what I wanted.

 

What processor/CPU do you have?

 

Ok your specs are fine there is enough RAM there.

 

Did Malwarebytes come up as clean?

 

What antivirus program do you use?

 

Ok lets get you to do a few things.

 

Click start/open run box and type in cmd/In the command window type in chkdsk /r and hit ok.

 

If you get a similar message cannot run chkdsk at this time would you like to schedule type Y and hit enter on your keyboard,restart the computer and let chkdsk /r run.

 

When you say slow to startup does it hang on the post screen or just the OS or both?

 

If it hangs on the post screen were does it hang?CPU?RAM?CD/DVD rom drives etc?

 

Can you disconnect all external hardware and see if the bootup/startup is any faster.

[Jelly Bean]

Download and run this and check your temps.

 

SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

 

Let us know if they show flames on any item and then list temps.

 

Just to see if the computer appears to get hot pritty fast or during a lot of running processes.

 

Updating hardware drivers from the computer manufacturers website under support tab may also help.

IT8712F support was improved.

Please, have a look at CONFIG / ADVANCED and read the help file about how to configure Advanced Options. got this massage and got flames from fan 3 its 55c

Please do not change any settings on speedfan.

 

 

Can you post me a screenshot of the temps please?

[rainman]

hope this works jelly bean

I think rainman said he has shield deluxe running at startup.

 

I'm not familiar with it but I wonder if it's doing a scan at startup.

 

The only other thing I can think of is a faulty piece of hardware. For instance I recently had a comp with a bad CD/DVD drive. It took forever to get past the POST screen. But after that it would logon to Windows just fine and ran great. Once I disconnected the CD/DVD drive it booted straight up.

 

Just a thought.

[Jelly Bean]

I agree on the hardware possibility of a fault.

[rainman]

thanks RandyL will try that

[rainman]

hi jellyBean thank you for all your time im going to try uninstall my cd drive thank you again

[Jelly Bean]

You are very welcome rainman.
