Long pause before system starts normally...

[Guest Nemole_Amzi]

Hello,

 

Recently my pc crashed all of a sudden and now my pc boots normally, windows

loads fine but when it actually starts up, like the desktop and startup apps

etc, it gives my a long pause of about ~40 seconds with nothing but a light

aqua screen and the mouse pointer and only after this pause it starts to load

fine.

 

What have i done? is there an obvious problem fix? i ran chkdsk and sfc scan

but nothing came up

 

Im using vista 64 bit

 

thanks in advance

Check the event log - I'd guess something is timing out. Could be anything,

we'll need something to help us troubleshoot the cause.

 

What new program/service/web page/whatever had you added or visited just

before the "sudden crash". What were you doing at the time?

 

Again, this is all basic troubleshooting. Look for the proximate cause,

check for error messages, etc.

 

Another thing you can do is use msconfig to disable startup items until you

find the one that's erroring out.

Yeah thanks a lot, turns out it was a service, some Andrea ADI Filter

service. I googled it and turns out this problem is fairly common, i rly dont

know why this service has started to act up, because its a sound card service

i think and i also doubt my crash had anything to do with it hmm...

 

Anyway, thank u very much, it solved the "hang" at startup
