Not too long ago I upgraded my machine but prior to that (May 2012 - October 2014) the ssd I used would boot up in about 5-7 seconds from the start of the splash logo(When the four orbs come together and form the windows logo) but ever since upgraded my Splash screen boot up time has increased to 31.5 seconds - about 45 seconds from when I hit the power button. I could not point to what it was, I figured after everything updated and installed I'd be good to go. It's now been about 2 months, and I still have this problem. And it doesn't help that I just buillt a budget gaming PC for a friend, who only could afford a WD Blue HDD and is able to boot up in about 19 seconds! Hey I'm happy for him, don't get me wrong, but I'm infuriated since I spent a lot (at the time) for the SSD.
System Specs Are:
MOBO: ASUS Sabertooth z97 Mark 2
OS: Windows 7 SP1
CPU: Intel I7 4790k - w/ Phanteks cpu cooler
SSD: Corsair Neutron 240GB
HDD's: HGST 4TB
WD Green 1.5 TB - x2
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 980
Memory: 16gb G. Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1866
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000W 80 Plus Bronze
This problem also happened with another Motherboard - MSI z87-GD65 Gaming, so I do not think it is a motherboard problem.
I also tried booting with only the SSD connected and it gave the same result.
TRIM is indeed enabled and has been from the get go. Same with AHCI prior to Windows Installation....Prior to the 6(six) clean installs I have done already. Yeah. I'd rather not re-install windows for the seventh time.
On startup I pretty much disabled everything. But I did not have this issue before with the same(or more) services starting up on my last build with the same ssd
Checked the speed of the drive and I posted a pic below. I'm assuming the speeds are fine, right?
Only have two options in Boot load order: SSD and DVD drive, took out the rest. no dice
I honestly don't have a clue what else to do, or what else I may be overlooking. I seriously do not want to fresh install windows and go through the billion updates and drivers I have to re-install. I'd rather hang myself. I have had nothing but issues with this entire build from the get-go and I pretty solved a lot on my own and have the system working as intended except for this slow boot time. Please any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
