Problem with Vista

Yes' it's a clean install :) I cleaned the dust, opened the machine and everything is working well and all the fans are working. I checked the temperature of the processor and it was 36(with bios)

I'm stumped. It certainly shouldn't be a software issue if this is on a clean install. My last guess is that it could be failing memory - but I don't know why that would cause your computer to slow down rather than just blue screen it. You can find a memory diagnostic utility from Vista's F8 boot menu. Other than that, try the Hardware forum[^] or call MS tech support. They'd probably be able to provide more help. Take care!

Hello, I'm experiencing a problem of slowness with windows Vista. My specifications is: Pentium D 2.6 dual core 1024 MB of RAM GForce 7600 GT 160 GB of free space Thats the main specifications. Now, when I start the Windows Vista Home Premiun and I should type the password for example then I see the pasword that I typed after something like 10 minutes(I mean I see the ****** on the text box)... And I see the "Loading the Desktop" message 30 minutes and just then it starts the windows. After I started the windows and clicked COMPUTER, then I should wait something like 40 minutes until it gets there...I mean I don't see the computer "thinking" I just wait long time and suddenly it gets there... That's terrible and unconfortable and I can't work like that. I tried to enter to the safe mode but its the same problem there. I tried to install graphic drivers through the safe mode(It took me 2.5 hours to do that...) but it didn't help. I tried to reinstall it too but nothing... What could be the problem and how can I solve this terrible problem?

You know, that sounds quite a bit like a dying harddrive, if the bits can't come off the drive fast enough your machine will begin to crawl, or perhaps it is a mass storage problem with vista although you'd probably expect that to blue screen. or perhaps your network is trying to configure and is taking a really long time... If you have only just put a new o/s on there I'd wipe it and put a good known o/s (XP) on to verify your hardware is still good, certainly after opening the case and frying your drive ;O)

I think the hardware is OK because XP runs good and I'm playing games like OBLIVION and the computer runs good and fast. YOu know, when it writes that it preaperes the desktop so the little circle is not turning around, it just stay on it's place and don't move... It looks like it makes the action but I see the output just later...

Hi Semion I do not know if this makes you feel any better but I am going through exactly the same as you, except my wait is slightly less than yours. This is brand new PC and I am installing Vista 64 Ultimate. The system is brand new and clean: ASUS M2R32-MVP board, AMD X2 4600+ (ie 64 bit) , 2Gb Ram, GeForce 7600 GTOC and 2 new 250 gb SATA drives arranged as RAID 0. Apart from the video card our systems are completely different. To answer another reply I have an excellent cooler on my CPU which < 40 Centigrade (according to BIOS) , and the CPU gadget never rises above 5%. Safe mode boots slightly quicker. I removed my DVD and wireless card and it made no difference. I am about to flash my BIOS (AMI) and update some drivers. I will let you know if I see any improvement. :~ Strange, I feel better knowing someone else has exactly the same problem. Even as I type this message on my win2k system I have a new vista trial in a string of trials. It is a message "AUSUHWIO.DLL","Can't Execute Kernel Mode Driver Service" when trying to look at a DVD. Google here I come...

If XP runs good it's definatly hardware and software compatability issue. Vista has lots of them. Go to your hardware manufacturer's website and look for drivers updated for Vista. PS: 1GB - 2GB of RAM in vista - just can't do you good. Make it 4GB RAM + at least 256 dedicated video memory (possible 512 if you have 27 inch + monitor) - and you'll love it. Some of your softwares might still won't work =P

Installed the lastest Motherboard BIOS and it now works perfectly. Boots in 20 seconds. Slight improvement from 20 minutes. Good luck - hope the same works for you.

But wait, how did you installed it? from Vista? Because I can't install anything from Vista.. it will take me all the day.. And, what drivers did you install-The Chipset and motherboard drivers? -- modified at 0:49 Friday 13th April, 2007

This has got nothing to do with Vista. Go to your motherboard site and download the latest BIOS for your mobo. Before you do that check the make, model and serial number. You MAY also need a version number, sometimes stuck on a paper tab. The method used to burn in the new BIOS depends on the manufacturer, and whether you have a floppy disk. In general there are four methods: 1) The more modern BIOS actually have the burn / flash program build into them. You need to supply the new (downloaded) BIOS on a floppy, your C disk or a CD/DVD. It depends on your BIOS which of these are supported 2) You download the flash program and new BIOS and run it under windows 3) You download the flash program and new BIOS and run it by booting to dos from a floppy (or the CD provided to you) 4) You boot from the CD provided to you by your BIOS manufacturer and use that to flash your new downloaded BIOS If what I says causes some confusion you can email me: paul -who-is-at- paulcotter dot com Good luck - sorry for the delay in answer. I forgot to check my email in the joy of getting my system working...
