Slower than normal boot time

[SowigAcid]

Hey guys, So I run an OCZ vertex 4 ssd drive that is just for my windows installation. Now my boot time is somewhat slower than it used to be.

Nothing has changed.

Could you guys possibly recommend something for me to do about this?

Thanks!

Can you fill out your system specs, so that we can better assist you? After that, use this tutorial to find out the speed of your restart time and post it here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/720-restart-time.html
Have you installed any programs recently? Do you use any system optimizers/cleaners?

I have filled out my system specs.

I finished the restart time at it is 102 seconds (That is much to long)

I didn't install anything lately. I use O&O defrag and Malwarebytes pro.

Did you defrag your ssd? If you did, that is most likely the problem.

As Computer0304 said, defragging an ssd is not good for it. Defragging is only for hard drives, not flash based devices like flash drives, sd cards, and ssds. Uninstall the defragger. Do you use an antivirus along with Malwarebytes? Malwarebytes is antimalware only, so you still need to use something like Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast, Avira, etc. I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. After you have installed your antivirus, run a full scan with it and remove anything it finds.

It has also been found that some 3rd party defrag programs will do strange thing to your system. Some delete restore points or disrupt other Windows System Files.
I personally recommend using the built in Windows 7 defrag.

Hey guys sorry for not getting back to you on this post.

No i don't think I have ever defragged my SSD's.

I know that defragging SSD's is bad for them so I wouldn't intentionally do it.

I will try and uninstall O&O though.

I also run Microsoft SE.

Okay guys so I uninstalled O&O and my boot time is still the same

Have a look at the events 100 in Event Viewer. That might give you a clue what's holding it up. Go down this chain:

Eventvwr
Applications and Service Logs
Microsoft
Windows
Diagnostics - performance
Operational
Event ID 100
