Acer R3610 Win7 Slow Boot

Alias_Omega

I have an Acer Revo R3610 which we have owned since new. Its currently running Win7 64-bit. It has 4GB of DDR2-PC5600 memory.

When it boots up, the Win7 desktop comes up online pretty fast, though it seems to be lagging until the Win7 chime sounds about 3-4 mins later. Once is chime sounds, its the end of the boot sequence and things don't start to lag.

Is there anyway I can find out what is causing a slow boot without restoring it again to factory image?

I have removed the cover, cleaned out the air-vents /fan etc. I have also removed the majority of the things from MsConfig.

Have a look here, it takes a bit of time to work through but may be of help:

Hi Gray,

Thanks for the reply. I've awarded it accordingly.

It gives me something to check out, as previous searches point to a NVidia SATA driver which I cant find, nor want to mess with at this stage..
