SSD Boots ridiculously slow

[Xenoks]

Yeah, that’s the one I downloaded, I just get this when I try to share the snapshot. I couldn’t view others’ speccy links too so that’s why I assumed the server is down

OK, I’ll leave this to Philpower.

Wait, I tried again when I saw a notification for this thread and it worked this time

Thanks for the additional support Mal (y)

The following post before looking at the Speccy report, will edit this post if you have not already replied in the interim.

My PSU is “Chieftec A85 350~650W”,

Sorry Xenoks but that is a range of six different PSUs that claim to be able to produce from 350W up to 650W, each of the six have two things in common, they are garbage and none of them can produce anywhere near the output that their labels state.

Sorry for the bump, but I found another program that worked with my hard disk, and apparently it’s working well

Your SSD has a 97% health level meaning that something is amiss and possibly the fact that you are low on free storage space on the device and Windows is complaining, see canned info below.

For Windows to be able to run efficiently and to be able to update you need to have between 20 and 25% of the partition or drive available as free storage space at all times, if you don`t you risk Windows becoming corrupt or not being able to update which puts you at risk of malware attack.

Data only storage devices should not be allowed to get any lower than 10% of free storage space of the full capacity of the drive/partition on the drive.

The information in your reply #7 screenshot does not correspond with what Speccy is telling us which is that Windows has been clean installed today leaving a lot more free space than was previously available.

I deleted a lot off of my C disk, and it’s still at 97% health.

I’m assuming the bad PSU is what’s causing the health issue, and possibly the slow boot. Should I replace it? And if so, do you have any suggestions?

Windows is shown to have been installed today and as of yet no updates have been installed, before going any further we need to know if the drivers for the MB have been installed and starting with the chipset drivers first + we need an updated Speccy url showing that Windows is fully up to date.

[Xenoks]

Yeah I reinstalled windows, I’ll see if I have the option to update the motherboard drivers, and I’ll update windows (before, it told me I couldn’t because of my “company policy” or something similar), I’ll post an updated speccy link when that’s all done.

[phillpower2]

The motherboard drivers should either be installed from the disk that shipped with the board or be downloaded and installed from the maker of the boards website, Windows 10 has a lot of generic drivers for the likes of keyboards, mice and USB devices but they do not provide chipset drivers for MBs, fail to install the chipset drivers and you will always have problems.

I’ll update windows (before, it told me I couldn’t because of my “company policy” or something similar),

From where did you get the Windows 10 media and product key that was used when installing Windows.

[Xenoks]

My Windows 10 was shipped with my PC, which was built for me by the store that also sold the parts I’m using

[Xenoks]

I updated both and got the speccy link:

You are missing numerous Windows updates, we are up to 1903 so you are way behind on 1803, 14 months to be a bit more precise.

Not seeing any Gigabyte software for the MB having been installed either.

Does that include the PSU, reason I ask is because the info you gave us makes the PSU 8 or 9 years old and discontinued for almost as long.

[Rustys]

How old is the system? When did you have it built?

[Xenoks]

I think it’s around 8 months ago? I know it was late 2018, but I don’t recall if it was November or December specifically.

[Rustys]

Is the system still under any warranty? Parts usually carry a 1 or more year(s).

If that power supply is that old then it may be not able to supply the system with the proper amount of power. I would suggest getting it replaced which @phillpower2 can help with choosing the proper one that will fit that system.

[Xenoks]

Yeah the system is under warranty which I’m very sure is still lasting
