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

Hi Everyone,

Please give me solution for my problem as my laptop take 5-6 minutes for booting & later application freezes for 1 minute.

Windows 7 Home Premium - service pack 1 (7 month old laptop)
Samsung NP300E5A-S01UK Core i-5 Processor, 2.5GHz, 6 GB RAM, 64 bit OS
C Drive - 122 GB free of 176 GB D Drive - 198 free of 265 GB
Had samsung recovery solution & samsung software update programs which used to come up after startup. surprisingly there was no option for this 2 programs in msconfig,startup section and used to come up after every startup. So I uninstalled it later.
No option is selected in msconfig, startup section.
all junk files & temp file cleared using Ccleaner & Glary utilities, also disk is fragmented using Diskeeper 2011
NO virus, malware, spyware present as I have checked my PC with Norton 360, webroot secure anywhere & SpyBot search & destroy
After checking for virus I have un-installed all antivirus, right now I don't have any anti-virus so there is no point that antivirus is increasing boot time.

So please let me know is there anything other I can do so I can improve the boot time as earlier my boot time was less than 1 minute.

If this problems is fairly recent, you may be able to roll back your computer to a date/time prior to the first startup issue by using a system restore point.

See if there are any damaged or corrupt system files by running a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot the computer after each scan.

Another possibility is application conflicts at startup. Perform a clean boot (aka clean startup.)

If none of the above helps you may want to go through these troubleshooting guides for startup issues and general troubleshooting issues. They are time consuming but have helped isolate problems for many people.

Thanks for your reply..
In performance Information & tools section..there is warning that my Nvidia driver & intel graphics driver are causing Windows to resume slowly.
Right now I am updating all my drivers. Hope this might work.
If it won't I will try above solutions

 

[marsmimar]

Not a problem. Take as much time as you need.

 

[gregrocker]

I would immediately test your RAM and HD, establish a Clean Boot, scan the logs for repeat errors, and utilize System Resources to find problems in Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.

The steps lead up to possible Repair Install, running Factory Recovery or getting the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which is a specialty of these forums.

I am getting warning in Performance Information & tools section that Drivers are interfering with Windows resuming from sleep mode.

These drivers are causing Windows to resume slowly

1. Intel Graphics Kernel Mode Driver
igdkmd64.sys Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
time taken - 99.6 seconds

2. NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 268.83
nvlddmkm.sys NVIDIA GeForce GT520MX
time taken - 39.1 seconds

If you no longer use the device, consider uninstalling it

I have updated above both drivers but still same warning comes up.

Please let me know is it OK to uninstall both display drivers. Whether it will affect my laptop performance or some features may not work ?

Or let me know other solution for this driver interference.

Thanks

Do you have Intel or Nvidia Display adapter? It's unusual to have both.

Uninstalling each on Driver tab in Device Manager would only cause them to reinstall at reboot which might help. I would do one at a time.

Even if you check the box to uninstall the driver itself it will just reboot to Standard VGA Driver so you could then see what driver optional Windows Updates delivers after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware. This is the preferred way to get drivers in Win7 which is driver-complete.

Look over these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to consider getting the freshest start shedding all of the corruption caused by factory bloatware even after it's removal. You'll then at least be aware of the tools and methods which work the best based on thousands we've helped here.

Dedicated GT 520MX 1GB Graphics is what he has, what it is, is that the laptop is shipped with both drivers installed, the United Kingdom version got the Nvidia GPU, the USA version got the Intel GPU.

uninstall the intel drivers, and see if that helps. You should clean the drivers folder too, I can't remember exactly how to do that but I am sure someone will post the instructions for that.

I don't have any idea of adapter. Let me know how can I check that.
Right now I don't want to do a clean Reinstall.

I will try uninstalling & re-installing both drivers one by one and will check the problem.

Do not reinstall both only reinstall the one you have, hold the windows key and press "pause/break", click on device manager, and see what is listed under display adapter, that is the one you want to reinstall only.

If you have the UK variant it should be an Nvidia display.

I have 2 drivers (Intel & NVIDIA) drivers installed in Device Manager/Display Adapters.

So I think uninstalling Intel driver will do.
Please let me know is it OK to have 2 display drivers installed or this is the main reason for my problem.

 

[jaguar85]

Of 2 drivers (Intel(R) HD and NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX), i uninstalled Intel(R) HD driver.
After rebooting, standard VGA Graphics adapter got installed automatically.
My screen resolution diminished to 800 x 600 automatically.
I changed it to original resolution 1024 x 768, but still my screen and all apps looks distorted.
Will this VGA driver create problems while watching HD videos

Please let me know should I reinstall Intel (R) HD driver & uninstall NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX ???
Is it OK to uninstall NVIDIA driver?

 

[tlarseth]

If NP300E5A-S01UK is your correct model number you should only have an Nvidia GPU, the NP300E5A-S01UB came with the Intel GPU. try reinstalling the Intel drivers (Get the latest ones), and reboot, after that uninstall the Nvidia and see if it tries to install the generic drivers after reboot.

Did you even read what I wrote about this? It will not be easy to resolve if you can't follow simple directions:

Even if you check the box to uninstall the driver itself it will just reboot to Standard VGA Driver so you could then see what driver optional Windows Updates delivers after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware. This is the preferred way to get drivers in Win7 which is driver-complete.

You need to check Important and Optional Windows Updates now after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware to see what driver WIn7 wants for the device which is apparently your only Display adapter.

If Windows Updates don't deliver it after a day, go to the Support Downloads webpage for your model PC to import the latest Nvidia display driver.

If NP300E5A-S01UK is your correct model number you should only have an Nvidia GPU

Do we now have enough verification that it's the Nvidia that if OP's problem persists we can safely advise to disable the Intel Display driver in Device Manager? Would it be better disabled elsewhere if it is interfering, even in BIOS?

 

[jaguar85]

After uninstalling Intel driver, in Windows update there was a update of Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000.
I updated VGA driver to above HD adapter.
Boot time was same 5-6 min

So I uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX adapter but it got installed again automatically after reboot.

Today my boot time was 10 min

So now which adapter should I disable???

 

[tlarseth]

Disable the Intel, don't just uninstall it disable it, that will prevent your computer from installing the drivers.

 

[jaguar85]

Disable the Intel, don't just uninstall it disable it, that will prevent your computer from installing the drivers.

Thanks I will disable Intel driver & will check if my boot time improves or not.

Both Gregrocker and myself have told you to disable the one you don't have, in this case the Intel one, as the UK variant is supposed to be Nvidia. Let us know if this helps, if not more troubleshooting maybe needed.

 

[jaguar85]

I disabled Intel adapter but it diminished my screen resolution from 1366 to 1260 and apps, screen got distorted and the boot time was same.

So I again enabled it and disbaled the NVIDIA adapter but the boot time is same 6-7 min.

Can you please let me know any other solution for this drivers interfering.

Thanks

 

[gregrocker]

Try the latest Nvidia driver to see what screen resolutions are available after disabling the Intel adapter.

If that doesn't help the try the same with the Intel.
