Bought new SSD, having odd problem

I will try running msconfig with diagnostics and see what that result yields. as far as doing a fresh format it was doing the exact same thing its doing now when i installed windows. in fact it was giving me a helluva time at the very last step of the windows installation. took a good 45 minutes at that stage and i was installing windows from a flash drive to the ssd

well your drive seems to be working fine based on that ATTO bench, but it still seems wierd how long that boot time is.
 
I know i can't figure it either. only thing i can think of is faulty motherboard. I've tried all the sata 3 ports and i get the same result. I've even unplugged all other hdds and still the same. Also pulled the cmos battery for 30 seconds.

try a bump on the south bridge voltage.
 
Never thought of that. ill give that a try.
 
I havent gotten to that point yet. Been busy the past couple days. Ill get to it soon though! :)
 
Stupid question but what is the south bridge labled as on 1155 systems? Im nite seeing anything in the biosphere that slaps me in the face and says "south bridge."
 
are you sure its not a driver idiling and holding up the system? He may not have even noticed with the 80 GB because it was so slow.

the problem is clearly not with the SSD, check your boot logs, run msconfig, see what is loading up. Does it take long to load into safemode?
 
Oh jesus OCZ has brainwashed a few more people. Do not Disable Prefetch, superfetch, indexing, etc. Windows will configure everything once it detects an SSD. only thing you should really disable is defrag, system restore, and write caching. Indexing should also be turned on because turning it off actually makes the SSD work harder to fine programs and its actually slower that way, and reduces the life of the drive.

Just disable defrag. Thats it.

Completely forgot to do that. Below is a copied/pasted list of everything that loads with Windows after enabling boot logging in msconfig:

it looks like its attempting to reload this driver 4 times... 5 if you count that it loaded successfully before, I would start here.

Loaded driver \??\C:\Program Files (x86)\LogMeIn\x64\RaInfo.sys

This looks interesting...

It is trying to load this twice, which could also cause a slowdown as it waits, retries.

What would u suggest?

unplug all the USB devices from the laptop and go to MSconfig and click the diagnostic option on the startup tab - does it still take long to load?

Let us know if the diagnostic boot still hangs.

My bet is that it is a funky network driver. if you want to try to uninstall the network drivers from the control panel and the wifi software, reboot, and re-install that might fix it.

ill try reinstalling the drivers. it's a desktop too btw.

I am guessing it's the NDProxy.sys .
This guy too had a similar problem. Check it out. It might help.
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/197363-windows-xp-booting-slower-ndproxysys/

Srv.sys is also a network related file. So I guess something is wrong with your network.
Ill check that link out for sure thanks! as for something being wrong with the network i highly doubt it since the other 3 computers in the house don't have this issue.

try the diagnostic startup... one way for sure to tell that it is drivers is if the diagnostic boot does not take long.
 
Must be the drivers. I did the diagnostic startup and it took maybe 10 seconds to load windows.
 
It's been doing it on a fresh install of windows so root kits arent the issue.

Fresh install of windows doesn't mean you got rid of a root kit. They like to hide in the MBR also.

I'm not saying you got one. Im just saying it could be an issue. Delete all partions and reinstall into one. Only then will it create a new MBR.

Impossible. It was on a brand new SSD fresh out of the wrapped box and it was having the issue.

Batou1986 mentioned using an intel AHCI driver instead of the MSAHCI. I went ahead and downloaded the intel rapid storage technology driver and Windows loads in 13 seconds, down from 3 minutes. :D
 
def drivers, rootkits don't take that long to load :D
 
hes talking about his dads system, that im pretty sure does not have SATA III if it had an old 80GB WD drive on it prior

lol i have a 30 gb ibm travelstar running windows 7 ultimate here (admittedly i only have space for one game :laugh::roll::laugh: ) but this is for the places i mod at so :p:D (btw it has a parallel ata port )

saying that ,although i have a X58 ud7 with sata 3 ports ,it kinda runs my samsung 830 256 gb drive at just above sata 2 speeds (it has a marvel controller on the board) :wtf::twitch::shadedshu:cry:
