Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace

Hmmmmm - let me see if I can get creative with you. Give me a few days to see what I can do.

Have you been able to come up with a solution?

Sorry - Sandy came through and I'm just digging out. Once I get stable internet access and get back to regular work schedule, I'll get a write-up done.

Thanks for the reply. No problem with delay. Very sorry to hear about Sandy. The situation had a lot of coverage on TV even here in South Australia. Much safer here and weather overall is far better. Perhaps you should migrate and leave the snow and cyclones behind? I hope you and your family/friends are all ok. Bob

Hi,

Gregrocker recommended me to post my boot trace here for my booting problem.
Can someone please trace by boot and let me know what is the problem and recommended solution for it. Link for my boot trace file - shutdown_BASE+LATENCY+DISK_IO_INIT+DISPATCHER+DRIVERS+FILE_IO+FILE_IO_INIT+NETWORKTRACE+PERF_COUNTER +POWER+PRIORITY+REGISTRY_1.rar

Thread for my problem - Boot time 5-6 minutes & after booting applications freezes for 1 min

Main problem is my Intel(R) HD & NVIDIA display drivers are interfering and causing windows to resume slow.

I am still hoping that someone can fix my problem with inability to shutdown/restart

Guys I ran the boot trace as instructed and as soon the system rebooted it blue screened. I tried to reboot several times and the only two options I get are Start-up Recovery and Boot Normally. Please help. The system keeps on rebooting. I can get to the command prompt under Start-up Recovery x:\. Is there a way to stop running the boot trace.

Boot into System Recovery Options on Win7 DVD or System Repair Disk to run Startup Repair repeatedly. It should offer to System Restore for you, but if not and it won't start then run it manually, working back as far as it takes to start Win7.

If this fails work through these steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start that try everything to repair Win7 to start leading up to if necessary rescuiing your files to run Factory Recovery or get the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which steps are same for retail.

Hi cluberti,

I have recently experienced a sudden degradation in my windows 7 boot time, and have performed a boot trace hoping to determine if there are any underlying hardware issues, since I do not believe I have made any changes on the software side. Would really appreciate your assistance in interpreting the data found in the trace log.

Hopefully now is a good time for you to be able to look at my problem once again. To reiterate, I cannot get Windows 7-64 to shutdown from the start menu. This has been going on for some months. I did a restore to an earlier point, which fixed problem for a day or so, then it resumed. Haven't been able to instal and run the tools you outlined. Refuses to work despite numerous tries.
