AAO boot up slow? black screen...

did anyone get a black screen for like 30-40 second while booting up..? as in a blank screen with arrow... I'm wondering is there a fix to it?
I can record a video of it and post it if anyone wants me to.

 

ok, heres my link of the boot up time.. very very slow..

and also.. i question, how do change it to auto log in?

 

That is unusual... What version of Windows 7 is this?

EDIT: just saw the last part of your video..... Try uninstalling AVG. See if that helps.

 

avg cause this problem?

 

AVG 8 has been known to increase boot up times.... this would be amplified if you have the uber slow SSD of the AAO. Just try it. If it's still the same, reinstall. What's there to lose?

 

true.. and my AAO is running on HDD.. 5.4k >.> faster than the stock SSD.. i think..

 

heh.. uninstalled avg, did increase the boot up a little faster, still black screen first though.

 

What Windows 7 build did you use? Is it like that when you 1st setup Win7? Or it just came up recently?

 

I didn't really pay attention to the boot up at beginning..
I'm using Build 7100 (came out on May 5?)

 

Here's my improved time.. but still considered slow.

That's just about ok already.... now trim down the startup apps and services you don't need, that will further reduce the boot overhead. Disable Indexing on all drives. Disable NTFS last access update on the registry.

 

i basically have nothing on startup right now.. lol

 

You just think there's nothing, :lol: . There are actually quite a number of preloaded system services that are automatically ran upon boot up. This is for the experienced windows user though, since you might inadvertently disable a required service and brick your Win7 installation. Proceed with caution. Do a search for windows services that can be safely disabled. Cheers

TIP: run msconfig , uncheck the system services you think you don't need... same with the startup tab. Good luck.

 

heh.. i'm usually too lazy to mess with the services.. i only mess with the startups lol

 

Ok in that case, I guess you'd have to live with your boot times... hehehe lol

 

if so.. then i'll wipe out the windows 7 and go back to xp

 

I think this boot time is rather good. It's interesting that you also only have this simple green loading bar and the (C) microsoft logo during the booting process. Because "big" strong pc's get a really cool animated Windows 7 instead of this simple loading bar. I firstly though this is incorrect, but I seem's that every aspire one (netbook) -user get's only this basic boot logo (maybe because of the limited video memory and gpu?).

 

Nope not the video memory or gpu, the fancy Win7 boot up splash screen has a minimum requirement of 1024x768.... anything lower will default back to the simple progress bar.
