    Re: booting problem

    Unplug all the cable from cpu and hold the power button for 1 minute and again plug all the cables. If it don't work then remove the ram, swap the RAM into next slot and clean the dusts if any near the clips. i hope it will work....

    Re: Slow booting problem

    When your computer boots slow it may have nothing to do with Windows at all.
    The BIOS runs at the startup sequence where it configures devices and then boots the operating system. Now when the configuration is messy (obsecure commands) Then it causes slow boot to windows.

    • Turn computer on & hold delete key
    • In your BIOS go to Boot Menu option.
    • Choose quick boot to turn off memory test
    • In boot order put hard drive as first
    • Turn off logo display & restart.


    Hope this solves the delay problem.

    Re: Slow booting problem

    hi there i had the prob of slow boot try this it worked for me

    Click on Start, then Run, and type "msconfig". Wait for a new window to pop up.
    Look under the "BOOT.INI" tab. You will see a box labeled "Timeout:", and a numerical value. By default, it's 30, which means 30 seconds of wait time before boot. This can be changed, using 3 seconds. (Note: if you have more than one operating system, this means the wait time to startup to the highlighted OS. you might want a bit more than 3 seconds)
    Delete the temporary files periodically from your computer to make the applications run faster. Type %Temp% in the run dialog box by clicking on Start -> Run, and click on "OK". You will see an open folder with many files. Click on the Edit menu and click on Select all and then click on the File menu and select Delete. Note: Always confirm that the folder which is opened has a temp on the top of menu bar and the folder indicates that it is a temporary folder.
    Perform a scandisk to see that your computer hard drive is in healthy condition and it helps your computer run faster.
    Always perform a disk defragmentation at least once in a month. start the disk defragmentation from the system tools available in the accessories from the start menu. it takes a longer time and it is advised not to run any applications in the computer including the screen savers, while running disk defragmentation.

    Prefetch
    Simply browse to the windows folder (Ex: C:\Windows) and under there you should see the prefetch folder. Go into the prefetch folder and delete all the files (Careful! It should look like this c:\windows\prefetch). We need to edit a registry key to tweak it. Open regedit and browse to this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

    Under this key you should see a value named: EnablePrefetcher

    It has 4 possible values:

    0 - Disabled : The prefetch system is turned off.

    1 - Application : The prefetch only caches applications.

    2 - Boot : The prefetch only caches boot system files.

    3 - All : The prefetch caches boot, and application files.

    We don't want to disable it entirely. This would actually make boot times *longer*. This is because this feature is also used to speed up the loading of boot files. That is why we are going to pick the number 2 option. It allows us to keep the advantage of caching system files, without continually clogging the system up with applications.

    Set the value to 2 and reboot.

    The 2nd time you boot it should boot much faster. Remember that the side effect is that launching individual applications once windows has loaded will now be slightly slower.
