Posted August 19, 2007 Yeah so i put a new CPU and Mobo in my computer yesterday and everything is working fine apart from booting. It does boot, sorta problem free but after the Vista bar loads up my pc is on a blank screen for about 2-3minutes before the Vista orb apears and the tune plays. I don't think it can be boot settings becuase Windows starts to load up. I have done a defrag that didn't help, any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 20, 2007 I know it's because it's still fairly new and all, but man, this board doesn't fill me with Vista-upgrade confidence at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 It's the first real problem i've had with Vista to be fair. I'm loving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 have you installed the performance and compatibility updates from the MS site... they might do the trick. Check the Vista thread (either the last page or the one before) for links... some git called theguyfromspark posted about it, the tosser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I think about it, it's been happening since around about the time I've installed them. I could be wrong though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 Now I think about it, it's been happening since around about the time I've installed them. I could be wrong though. Do you use a USB stick for readyboost at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 20, 2007 Just a wild stab in the dark, but try disabling ready boost, deleting the files on the USB stick, restarting the machine, then re-enable ready boost and restart again. See what the boot times are on each reboot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 I've been having the same problem, ever since the last update! My whole system seems to be running a lot slower tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 What happens with you Phee? Explain to me so i know you have the same problem. I just flashed the BIOS with the lastest version, done a format and it still does it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2007 Computer boots, Vista loads up and then theres a delay before the login screen come up. By delay im talking 2 mins! Only thing i can think of is it was something to do with the last update, i installed it and the morning after this problem started happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
