Solve : Acer laptop takes 15 minutes or more to boot? |
|
Answer» Hello , i need help to figure out how to fix this super slow startup issue. This laptop takes at least 15 minutes to load before it gets to the log in SCREEN.. it was doing fine about a week ago where it would get me to login screen less than a minute before. EDIT- update on the Time jumping issueSo, is your problem solved? I hope the fresh restore doesn't include AVG...they have really gone downhill in the past few years... On top of the fact of being discovered as a data-mining component in their PACKAGE...thee1995, Do you have another PC you can Use to make a USB boot diagnostic tool that boots up an alternative OS? Here is what I MEAN: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2054425/pcs-fail-be-ready-with-the-best-boot-drive-programs.html Quote When your PC stops booting, a boot drive is the electronic version of a defibrillator. If you can boot your PC, you can detect bad memory, chase bad sectors, change passwords, and recover data ... all the things you need to get the machine back to normal. ... make the boot drives you need.Can that work for you?

Doubleclick StartupLite.exe to launch the program. Ensure the Disable box is checked. Click Continue. A pop up message will tell you the unecessary startup items in your list have been disabled and ask you to restart your computer. Re-start your computer. boot to safe mode. How long does the boot take? Quote from: Allan on December 04, 2016, 10:59:03 AM boot to safe mode. How long does the boot take? same as normal boot , also 15 minutes or more before it gets thru the acer logo Quote from: SuperDave on December 04, 2016, 10:53:04 AM StartupLite i downloaded the program, but when i launch it , it says "no unnecessary startups found" and the continue button cant be clicked..It's not anything starting with your system. If it takes 15 minutes to get to the Acer logo it's likely a hardware problem. I suggest you run diagnostics on your ram and your hd.Still under Warranty ? ?...if so i'd demand a replacement... |
