SSD Boots ridiculously slow

[Xenoks]

My SSD has been booting insanely slow as of late, going from the usual 5 or so seconds to almost 2 minutes. I’ve tried a lot of the advice I could find online, but nothing I could find solved my issue. I turned off most of my startup programs and I uninstalled a lot of things I don’t need, but the issue hasn’t let up at all.

I’m asking here because I couldn’t find anything online from google searches and articles alone, so I hope that someone could help me diagnose and fix the issue.

Also my computer is a custom build

My motherboard is gigabyte b450 aorus pro, with 8GB of DDR4 RAM (two sticks), and my video card is an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB. I’m however not aware of what my PSU is.

Apologies for not putting this information in my original reply.

[phillpower2]

Sorry but you have run benchmark and not diskinfo which we need so that we can check the health of the device.

I’m however not aware of what my PSU is.

It is important that we have this info along with the exact CPU and RAM information so that we can check the specs, troubleshooting is difficult enough without trying to do it blindly.

My PSU is “Chieftec A85 350~650W”, my CPU is a Ryzen 5 1600x, and my two DDR4 4GB RAM sticks have been made by HyperX, I wasn’t able to find any more info on the packaging aside from that.

As for the disk info, this is what I got:

Sorry for the bump, but I found another program that worked with my hard disk, and apparently it’s working well[ATTACH type=“full” alt=“4844”]4844[/ATTACH]

@Xenoks Phil is overseas and usually comes online in the early am hours Eastern Us Time. You could provide him with a Speccy Snapshot to help things along.

: Speccy Scan.

I don’t mind waiting for a response, then. I appreciate any responses to this post, especially when it’s a free forum.

[Xenoks]

Which parts of the speccy scan specifically should I screenshot? I’m guessing all of them

[Malnutrition]

No screen shot, just post the link that is produced. I know he usually ask for a speccy report and that may save some time.

[Xenoks]

How do I get a link? I think I’m missing an obvious option on here (I’m not very familiar with programs like these, apologies)

Oh sorry, I forgot you actually wrote out instructions in your previous comment. The speccy servers are apparently down atm, so I’ll send it sometime later today.
