Hello everyone,
I just bought a new computer, and I noticed the first time I turned it on that the startup and shutdown times where significantly slow.
Specs:
HP Pavillion a1130n
Microsoft XP: Media Centre Edition
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Processor 2.77Ghz
1GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
250 GB HARD DRIVE
16X DVD-ROM
DUAL LAYER DVD±RW with LightScribe
I also have the following software:
-Norton Internet Security (Norton Antivirus, Internet Security, and Norton AntiSpam)
-Microsoft AntiSpyware
-And all pre-installed HP software
Startup:
The computer starts up normally then when the welcome screen pops up it stays there for about 1 minute then it loads the desktop.
Shutdown:
If I use the computer for a period of time, and then click start shutdown, it doesnt do anything until after approximately 2-3minutes. Then the Logging off message appears and it takes about 5 minutes for it to shut down.
I just want to know why my computer startsup and shuts down very slowly.
Thanks,
Dean
