        1) Try running a standalone CD virus scanner. Boot PC from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and let program run.

        Lots to choose from ...

        2) Try a live linux CD/USB and see how long it takes to boot. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

          Scan the HDD for errors with the manufacturers diagnostic tool, possibly it has bad sectors or is otherwise failing.

              ok.... Whats wrong here?

              On a more serious note: Sounds like the HDD is failing or a driver is hanging. Can Win10 boot into safe mode anymore? If so i would do that and see what driver it hangs on.

                Re: win 10 slow boot

                Hi Chich, could possibly be a problem with the Hard Drive but i've seen loads of Windows 10 installs suffer severe slowdown after Windows Updates have been downloaded and installed. How is the Computer behaving when it finally loads up the Desktop, is it working normally or still slow?, download Macrorits Disk Scanner from the following ink and run it to check your Hard Drive

                http://macrorit.com/disk-surface-tes...face-test.html

                Let us know the outcome, also did your Computer come with Windows 10 pre installed or did you avail of the free Upgrade ?. on most of the Computer i've seen with the free upgrade the Hard Drive activity seems to continuously run at 100%, on most occasions nothing seems to fix it ie. disabling unnecessary services or startup entries etc, wouldnt be the cause of your slow boot up but if Windows is running very slow itself check it out by pressing 'Ctrl,Alt, Del', select 'Task Manager' and have a look, again let us know your findings

                  Re: win 10 slow boot

                  or maybe the hard drive just needs a defrag is all. also since its an oem pc from dell, most likely it comes with tons of bloatware bogging it down. run pc decrapifier to debloat?

                  on a lighter note, most likely win10 is just gathering all of your personal data on the hard drive and sending it to m$. hahaha! hope u dont have anything naughty on there, man!

                    Nintendo Switch Oled HEG-001: Second-Stage Boot Failure
                    by privato89
                    Hello everyone,

                    I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.

                    Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.

                    Let's begin:

                    Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the...

                    A1990 MacBook Pro 15" Turning on, loads then boot loops, fan spin slow and then fast
                    by Stephen
                    Got a MacBook Pro 15" A1990 with a board issue, The board turns on, I did a DFU revive to see if it needed a firmware patch, that was successful, however the board just keeps boot looping and turning off and on very quickly. Obviously the DATA Is there, but it wont even launch into recovery, it will just die and turn back on with Apple logo, once it gets really hot it dies, if the laptop sits for the day and is cool, it will turn on then get hot within 1 min then die and turn itself on and repeat. Once it does that it turns itself on and off repeatedly in seconds. I put a thermal camera...

                    Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
                    by hinisa
                    I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

                    When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

                    After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:



                    Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during...
