Hi everyone, not sure if this is in the right place or not but I am having a really annoying slow boot issue with windows 7 and my 250gb 840 evo drive.
After a clean install less than a month ago I was pretty pleased with the performance of my new SSD but after install various games and applications that I need I found that on boot after the ROG splash screen and before the windows boot screen I would get a cursor flashing up in the top left corner of my screen. It would flash like it would, say waiting for input in dos or a cmd window, and then move around alternating between flashing in the top most line and then reappearing a few inches down and flashing some more. This would happen for what felt like ages (probably less than a minute) then the boot would carry on as normal.
This is not a huge issue and I have been living with it, it is just annoying as it like at least doubles my boot time if not triples or more. I have tried fixing my master boot record and searching for errors using the windows recovery tool, also cleaning my registry with ccleaner but still no luck.
I am about to do a clean reinstall of windows 7 but would rather avoid the hassle of reinstalling everything when I have just done it only a couple of weeks ago.
any ideas?
My rig details if necessary are:
i7 4770k @ 4.5ghz
GTX 780
Custom water cooling loop
Patriot DDR3 16gb 2133mhz ram
Asus ROG maximus VI formula mobo
Corsair HX1000 psu
samsung 840 evo 250gb ssd
