Acer Revo 3700 Fresh Win 7 64bit takes 15mins+ to boot
Hi Guys,
I have an Acer Revo 3700 I'm trying to setup as a Media Station.
Spec:
Acer revo 3700
Dual Core 1.8ghz
4GB DDR3
64bit capable
I am trying to install a SSD Drive for reliability/speed, I have tried both a Kingston SSDnow vseries 30GB and Kingston SSDnow300 120GB
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit installs fine without problems.
Bios is set to AHCI
Bios is set to SSD as primary boot device
Both SSDs freshly formatted NTFS (tried format during install and fresh format attached to laptop as external drive)
Nothing else installed yet, nothing else attached except a mouse.
The 30GB SSD was installed and ran fully with all updated drivers and VLC media Player and everything worked fine, though Graphics a bit glitchy at times, only main problem booting takes 15+ minutes. Just hangs on the "starting windows" screen for 15minutes or more and eventually goes through and everything works fine. This of course is absurd for SSD startup times.
So I reinstalled, but same thing.
I reinstalled again but on a 120GB SSD.
Still the same, just hangs on the Starting Windows screen (AHCI enabled) for 15minutes or more.
Now I'm at a loss
