Abnormal boot-up time
Hi,
My laptop has recently started taking much longer to startup. At the beggining of this year, it was taking around 35/45 seconds to boot to the desktop and be ready to go. Over the last couple of weeks, i have noticed it has been taking longer and longer, it now sometimes takes up to 90 seconds or more, also it takes a particularly long time on the 'Welcome' screen. I know that 90 seconds isn't exactly bad but i don't understand how the time has doubled as there has been no major changes whatsoever. The only changes have been the install of Microsoft Office 2010 in January but as far as i can remember, this made little difference if any at all. I regularly run a registry cleaning programme, defragment the hard drive and scan for viruses etc... I personally don't think this is a case of the laptop just getting slower because of age as i have only had it around 6 months, but please do correct me if i am wrong and my laptop specifications are as follows:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
Intel i7 620m @ 2.67GHz
4Gb DDR3 RAM
250Gb 5400rpm Western Digital HDD
-If you need to know anything else please ask :)
Any help or adviced would be mch appreciated,
Thanks, Rob
