Slow boot windows

[ragdoll]

Ok Windows takes forever to boot past the part with the black windows splash screen with the little blue bars. Ive heard of this happening but i just want to know if there is a definate fix for it. I just installed windows yesterday.

Adminstrrative Tools>Event Viewer.

 

See if there are any messages about a hung application. Yellow warnings are OK. You need to look for Red errors.

I disabled Command queuing on my Maxtor drive, fixed the problem.

For the unenlightened can you please explain how to go about doing that? For the life of me I cannot figure it out.

Open Device Manager then click on the drive properties. There should check box settings for the drive you can change.

ragdoll,

 

what do you have plugged into your mobo? Are you running multiple fans off fan headers on mobo? Are all 4 power connectors plugged into mobo?

Device Manager | Disk Drives | select drive > Properties | Policies | deselect "Enable write caching on the disk".. if that is what you are referring to, did that already. No joy. Still an insane time to load Winblows.
