Very slow boot

Hi all - No AVG. Have enabled both cores of CPU at startup. 3 minutes to start up??? Wow what's going on? Help please - thanks.

Welcome to the forums legiN

Can you please post your system specs?

Hi Ian

Intel Core 2 (2.97GHz)
4GB RAM Patriot DDR2
Asrock Conroe 945G-DVI MoBo
NVidia 7900 GS
Win Exp. Index 5.6 (Gaming Graphics)

Thanks.

Nigel

Hi legiN, nothing slow about your hardware so I'm wondering how many apps you have running ? do you see any question marks in device manager ? and have you run a systems check ?

Hi - A run down on what should be running would be helpful. Device Manager shows no problems. How do I run a systems check ? Thanks.

Nigel

Sorry i meant how many apps that you have installed, and if you Click Start, type RESMON and press [Enter] to launch the Resource Monitor, then click the CPU, Memory, Disk or Network tabs. Windows 7 will immediately show which processes are hogging the most system resources, this may give some indication as to why your system is slow.

You may need to type "Resmon" in the run box not the search box

Good point clifford, it does work in both.

It didn't on mine or I wouldn't have said anything

Thanks but it did not throw up anything strange.
