hi
my computer is a new build and install of windows 7 sp1 and after i log in and go to the desktop it hangs for about 5 to 10 mins. the hardware has all been checked and works used 3 different hard drives varied sizes in gig. but it works perfectly fine in safe mode all 3 modes. have done multiple win 7 install and reinstalls with full partitioning, full formatting. any ideas or help would be much appreciated
Do you have any networked drives?
Also check the Event Log > Microsoft > Windows > Diagnostics > Performance > Operational and look for entries with event IDs in the 100s (101, 102, etc.). There might be some that are useful.
i dont have any networked drives attached and in the event log there is loads of 100s event ids so what could be causing it to lock up in normal mode but not in safe mode its a fresh build and fresh install from full reformat with system reserve drive as well.
also will changing the hard drive from sata to ide possible helps as it hung today on a fresh install duiring the completing install section what could be causeing it the ram is set to the right voltage and all componets are fine and work seperatly in other computers
If it's slow in normal boot but not in Safe Mode then it's most likely a start-up program ordriver causing the delay. If you have any event IDs of 101, these will show if a program is causing a delay in start-up and it will tell you which one.
SATA mode is fine for your hard drives, though, assuming they are SATA drives.
If you would like im sure multiple members in this forum could examine your event viewer log.
I uploaded a picture. Basically do a right click>Save all event as.
We may be able to help you determine which programs or what is causing the system to take longer than expected to finish booting up
