trudgy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I just upgraded my system and currently have: i7 2600k Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 G.Skill Ripjaws X 8Gb (2x4Gb) DDR3-1600 x 2 (16GB memory) 2x 2TB drives for documents etc. 2x 1TB mirrored for OS and programs newest bios for the board. I get to the windows login screen fairly quick, when I put my password in and hit enter it takes around 2mins to get into windows. If I then log out, type in password hit enter again it takes about 70 seconds to get into windows I have tried taking my mirror out and just hook up 1 500GB SATA3 drive only , loaded windows, drivers and windows updates - none of my other programs etc. and the same thing happens. in both instances one ism in windows the machine seems very peppy, navigating around with no problems, Any ideas ? thanks in advance.

DanTheGamer11 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Erm did you get new mobo too? Maybe the drivers are conflicting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudgy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Yes sorry the board the chip, RAM and one of the 2TB's are new. clean install of 7 ultimate 64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Have you tried it with just one HDD? Yes you did Did you check the BIOS to see if everything is running at proper speeds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudgy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 RAM is running at 1600mhz with subscribed voltage and timings, CPU is still at stock etc. everything appears to be fine, and like I mentioned once in windows everything seems real speedy its just loggin into windows. at first I thought maybe it was the RAID 1 setup off the built in raid that was slowing it down, thats why I tried a new 500GB sata3 drive. but exact same. thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) If you have a spare drive then use a different Sata Port, maybe 2? And do a good reformat and then reinstall, drivers and all... Did you try another BIOS? Did you run memtest? Edited July 28, 2011 by Dan The Gamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbor Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 how much services (services.msc in start menu) and bloatware (msconfig in start menu, startup tab) do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 you have 3 1TB drives but you dont own an SSD? are you archiving porn or something Im just kidding remove the password and user account from your computer and see if the computer boots up normal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try another BIOS? Did you run memtest? when I did the reload on the other drive, I did use another port and cable, I just did the format that is part of the windows 7 setup (this was a brand new drive never used) I used the bios version it originally came with, and when it seemed slow getting into windows, I did a bios update. I haven't run memtest, I will try that this evening, run orthos and intel stress test with no issue though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudgy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 how much services (services.msc in start menu) and bloatware (msconfig in start menu, startup tab) do you have? I would say there is no bloatware or anything like that, the system is really clean with only the gigabyte drivers, the utility for overclocking in windows and the touch bios installed and for programs just have photoshop, lightroom, quickbooks, office 2010, jalbum, filezilla, firefox installed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudgy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 you have 3 1TB drives but you dont own an SSD? are you archiving porn or something Im just kidding remove the password and user account from your computer and see if the computer boots up normal I have 2 x 2TB (one for all my documents folders ie. my documents, my music, my videos etc etc. ) and the other is for my RAW's from my 7D and other photography files, contracts etc. of which there is about 1.2TB of RAW's and 100GB of other files) good idea with the remove password suggestion, however it didn't change, with the password removed: windows logo comes up for a few seconds, then to the screen that says welcome with the circle going around it stays on that screen for a long while around 30 seconds, then switchs to black screen with cursor in the middle for another 45seconds or so then windows background, taskbar etc. pop up. all this while the hard drive is going fairly steady. completly perplex with this issue, i've used ALOT of windows 7 machines both AMD and Intel and never seen this issue so far. I think tonight i'll try one more thing and use another brand new hard drive, leave it the only one in there, load windows 7 and drivers only and see the result with no updates, i'll post my results later this evening on that run (after doin gmemtest) thanks again for the suggestions so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 sounds like the problem may be your raid setup that is mirroring the drive I'm just guessing though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
