Hey guys, here are my computer specs.
AMD Thunderbird 950
Asus A7V
256 MB PC133 Ram (Kingston)
Diamond 40 gig hard drive 7200 rpm
SB Live! Platinum
Windows 98
I used to get pretty good boot times (around 20 seconds). However, yesterday I moved my computer home from college and now the boot times have slowed down drastically. I'm getting a minute if I'm lucky and it's kind of annoying me. I defragged, ran scandisk on my hard drive and same problem. Only possible thing I can see is that perhaps my USB ports are somewhat screwy since the power light for those are coming on at strange times (i.e. the mouse will be lit up but not the webcam, and vice versa). Once I'm in windows, everything works fine and there aren't any stability problems. One other problem I might be having is that I still have the original BIOS revision of the A7V. Will upgrading it help me. Any other ideas? Thanks!
