Rebooting without the AMD drivers installed yet (during my Win7 attempt) did not affect the boot time. Samsung Magician reported nothing unusual with the drive configured correctly.
First reboot after a clean install still took 1:25. A completely clean installation has the same boot time as a fully Ninite'd installation with drivers. Installed programs do not have an impact. SATA mode set to AHCI, not legacy IDE or RAID. Unaffected by USB peripherals and additional SATA drives being connected. I know it's not supposed to affect restart, but just noting that that part works as it should.īoot time was unaffected by whether SecureBoot was set up properly or not.
Win 8.1 Pro has fast shutdown enabled, and it seems to dramatically improve shutdown/cold boot. Here's what I've checked/tried, based on numerous suggestions from all over the web: With the specs of the computer (booting off the 840 EVO) I was expecting a boot time of no longer than 20 seconds. This is significantly longer than my old SATA2/DDR2/Core2Quad system that this new build replaced. My brand new build (notated specs below, too) is constantly booting after restart with a boot-time of about 1 minute 30 seconds. This is my first UEFI mobo (very used to BIOS), but aside from that, I should be able to handle any advanced instructions. If it is checked, FastStartup is enabled.I work in IT, so this is particularly embarrassing, but I can't figure this out. Select "Change settings that are currently unavailable"Īt the bottom of the Window, under Shutdown settings, view the box regarding fast startup Select "Choose what the power buttons do" This is a new hibernation feature that allows the PC to restart very quickly.Ĭontrol Panel - Open Control Panel -> Power Options. You should check Acronis documentation to see if it did this, or if there was some setting that you should have changed to have it do this.Īlso, I have FastStartup turned on. I used Macrium Reflect to migrate the contents of the HDD to an SDD, and it automatically alignes the sectors correctly when it detects the target device is an SDD. I did much the same with an older HP DV6 2011-era laptp - replaced the HDD with an SDD - and it boost near instantaneously! So, I don't see why yours should take ages.
I read your post about your slow booting problem and wanted to help. If anyone can offer any suggestions or even confirm the situation can't be rectified it would be much appreciated.Īllow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Hello, I have tried to upgrade the drive in my notebook to a SSD.
