Generate the hibernation XML and look at the suspend, resume and hibernation file read/write times. What is slow?

where should I look at?

[MagicAndre1981]

reading the hibernation file is slow:

hiberread="90076000"

Is your HDD running in AHCI mode?

[intzepatorii]

I believe not as I don't find any option in Bios and I already updated it several days ago.

also the MSI doesn't tell anything as far as my level of understading... I still have SATA II but I don't know whether also AHCI.
can you please check: MSI G41M4-F is the Mobo.

should I reinstall the OS and choose AHCI when installing? (if it's possible, otherwise I leave it this way).
Thanks for advice.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, your board has the ICH7, which doesn't support AHCI

Try to update the BIOS, maybe this helps.

[intzepatorii]

still happy with the boot time. so no more hiberfil.
thank you very much!

How long does it boot? Run the boot trace and look at the boot XML. YOu can try the hotfixes from here:

http://www.msfn.org/...howtopic=152622

and optimize boot if the ReadyBoot graph shows a lot of black:

<timing pnpSystemStartDuration="578" pnpSystemStartEndTime="6076" pnpSystemStartStartTime="5498" pnpBootStartDuration="3621" pnpBootStartEndTime="3657" pnpBootStartStartTime="36" postBootDisturbance="9223372001875" postBootRequiredIdleTime="10000" osLoaderDuration="7514" bootDoneViaPostBoot="-1" bootDoneViaExplorer="24979">

I think it's OK. Cheers!

[MagicAndre1981]

25s to boot to desktop. But you've stopped the trace to early to see how long it takes to boot completely.

[intzepatorii]

<timing pnpSystemStartDuration="412" pnpSystemStartEndTime="4600" pnpSystemStartStartTime="4188" pnpBootStartDuration="3009" pnpBootStartEndTime="3044" pnpBootStartStartTime="35" postBootDisturbance="18300" postBootRequiredIdleTime="10000" osLoaderDuration="7706" bootDoneViaPostBoot="51623" bootDoneViaExplorer="23323">

this is another try
I think it's great as I have avast7, teatimer, teamviewer and a few other programs/services in startup and only a sata II hard disk...
for the moment I'll stick to this configuration as it doesn't make sense to change only the motherboard... I'll go for another computer in the near future though.

thank you very much for you effort... you have a beer from me.
cheers!

ok, Windows is fully booted in 4s. This is ok, if you run a lot of software.

Hi
New to forum but have a very slow starting up PC, boots to logon screen in 20 -30 secs but then takes up to 4 mins to logon. If PC is turned on and left for few minutes it logs on quicker so am assuming it is a cumputer startup problem but not sure how to read the xml file.

Thanks for any help  summary_boot.xml (177.55K)

Starting Oracle and other services (McAfee) takes a very long time.

<serviceTransition name="OracleServiceXE" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="192069" 
<serviceTransition name="ProcTrigger" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="176487"

<serviceTransition name="McShield" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="48951"

stop the autostart of this service (services.msc).

Thanks for responding.
My first thought was that it is the OracleXE service but setting it to manual appears to make no difference, have also set other servives to manual but am now getting strange results as below

<serviceTransition name="wscsvc" group="" transition="start"
totalTransitionTimeDelta="9223371778124" firstCheckpointTimeDelta="2" processingTimeDelta="9223371778123"
container="unknown" startedAt="258730" firstCheckpointedAt="258732" endedAt="-1"/>

Hello. I'm new to the forum. Can you help me with my boot problems?

My problem is, explorer takes a long time to start after logon. The PC would get stuck on a blank screen for 30 seconds or so after the welcome screen.
I've done the boot trace, looked at the .etl file graphs, but I can't see any process that's hogging the system for far too long at Explorer Init.
This is a (near) fresh install, just installed the drivers and used it for 2-3 days. It wasn't like this two days ago.
Recent apps I've installed are VMWare player and VirtualBox. I've tried uninstalling both of them, but it made no difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
