hey chaps and ladies,
tl: dr boot up time (loading of start-up programs) is progressively worse each time I reinstall Windows 7 on the larger partition of my HDD. Other partition left alone, used for XP (not reinstalled)
Question
Suggestions? I can provide diagnose results on request (not sure how to run all of these)
Full story:
Over the last year or so every other month I back up all of my data and do a full refresh/reinstall of my PC OS and other software:
Recently however I've set up a partition on the same HDD: 450Gig for Windows 7 64 bit and 50g used for XP 32 bit.
I've come to reinstall W7 by formatting my larger drive partition (leave the other alone). I then update my security stuff and install a bunch of other programs (processes listed at the end).
The last 2/3 instal's I'm experiencing some serious issues:
-Slow loading of Windows 7 (a long period of a black screen and a cursor before the windows logo pops up)
-Slow loading of star-up programs (particularly my mouse driver)
-On my last boot had multiple issues:
-20% of CPU power was being used during idle for no reason. Clogging everything up
-Tried to remove software in the control panel - no response
-opened Firefox and tried to go on this website, loads of adobe flash errors popping (saying the plug in was not responding)
-Guild wars 2 stalling on load screen (non-responsive)
Processes list order of resource consumption:
Firefox
RzSynapse.exe (Mouse driver)
dwm.exe (Desktop Windows Manager)
explorer.exe
RAVCpl64.exe (Audio driver)
winlogon
waudt (windows update)
AvastUI.exe (Anti-virus - Avast)
csrss.exe
Thanks!!
