Hp pavilion a6130n very slow to boot up or restart

hp a6130n is extremely slow to boot or restart after updates.  I tried to install sp37530 to reset bios as advised at other sites, but keep getting the "system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update.  Update has been cancelled 9996."  I checked the memory to see if that is the problem, disconnected the card reader etc.,  but am still having the same issues.  How do I get the bios update to run?  Am using vista home premium sp2.....HELP!!!!

Alfred, welcome to the forum.
I suggest doing a System Recovery using the Recovery discs.  This will not only solve your problem, but will increase system performance.
For future reference, it is always good to install only one update at a time.  This way if there is a problem you can always delete it and start over.  It sounds like you may have a driver conflict.

  • I have a Presario SR5450F. Recently, it is very slow to boot up. It hangs up on the Compaq screen

    I have a Presario SR5450F.  Recently, it is very slow to boot up.  It hangs up on the Compaq screen (Setup, Boot Menu, System Recovery, Diagnostics).  It hangs up on that screen for at least 10 minutes, which is unacceptable.  It just started doing this.  Can someone please help me?  Thanks.

    You're welcome goldcanyon1
    Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing your problem and what device was causing it for you. Sometimes having too many USB devices can cause problems. Your camera might work if only the mouse and keyboard are connected. It is worth a try if you need to get photos from it. I have seen even on my custom built PC occasional "odd" issues that can arise from having a variety of different USB devices connected.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

  • Very slow to boot, even on an external drive

    A friend's 15" MacBook Pro, quad core i7,(older, not sure of the exact model) very slow to boot, and boots with the progress bar, then when you try to log in, it goes back to the login page. Often it will not start. Starts after resetting SMC.  Reset PRAM. Booted to the recovery disk, ran repair disk on drive, no errors, tried to run repair on the volume and the MBP shut down. Tried booting to an external drive and it boots to an empty desktop with a finder window like an extended desktop.Tried AHT, only the usual battery sensor error, 4SNS/1/40000000  TB3T-128.000. ran extended test, same thing, only the one error.
    So, how to back up this MB Pro before I try an erase and install. (short of removing the drive) It would seem to be a hardware error, but always want to try an erase and install. Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?

    Mike -- thanks for your input. I guess Windows is just a worrisome thing for us Mac guys. Part of what always gets me is unknown code that goes into Windows. I did a Google the other day to see if I could get a feel for the "roots" of the upcoming Vista.
    Who knows what Vista is really based on -- a modification of NT that was in part based on DOS and VMS? From my limited experience, I am not sure there is enough shelf space to hold the manuals to run VMS successfully. Of course, why worry; Boot Camp and other things will change before Vista gets here.
    The bottom line is that I will use all the Windows security fixes.

  • Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Any tips? Thanks!

    Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. It's about a year and a half old. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) -- and I'm far from being an expert at any of this stuff, have seen a few different answers and not sure what to do. Help! Grateful.

    Okay, I am having a try at this. My machine wouldn't boot this morning again (like I said, it's erratic, so I then did a "safe boot" and restarted. This is what I think (I hope...) you want. Here's the first part, tho you'll see I am struggling with Part 2.

    In Part 2, you say:

    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports.
    BUT -- when I go into "System diagnostic reports" (and I have checked I'm clicking on the correct one) there's nothing in the log to the right, even when I click the arrow pointing down. Below that, on the left, it says FILES and then below that there's
    system.log
    kernel.log
    and then /Library/logs (twice) and /var/logs
    What am I doing wrong?
    Grateful for help.

  • My ipod 4g has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's Ben going very slow for about 2 months now.

    My iPod 4G has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's been going slow for the past month. It's even slow as o type this message.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Even while i am opening applications, the icons keep on jumping at the dock for a long time before the application starts.
    The problem started about two months ago however it has worsened a lot recently. This is my etrecheck profile. Hope it helps. Any help will be appreciated.
    My MacbookPro is very slow. Here's the Etrecheck report.
    Let me know what i should do.

    Please uninstall "Cisco AnyConnect" and see whether there's an improvement. If there is, check to see whether there's an update, or preferably, use the built-in Cisco client instead.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • [SOLVED] Arch very slow at boot, high HDD usage

    Hi,
    After an upgrade today (I don't know exactly what packages I upgraded, but it had been around 2 days between when I did it last), my Arch install has been very slow booting up. There is VERY high hard disk usage while booting, and I get the following messages that I never used to get before:
    1 - stalling at running cleanup hook
    2 - A start job is running dev-sda2.device (/home)
    When it has fully booted up into KDM, any keyboard press and the HDD is paging again and things slow to a crawl. I tried logging in, but 10 minutes in and things were still loading.
    I suspect that I might have lost my journal or suffered extreme file system corruption, but I have done nothing of the sort, after the upgrade Arch had a clean shutdown with no out of place messages.
    Right now I'm at school, so I won't be able do more debugging, but once I get home, I'll try and do fsck from the live USB.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: I looked at the systemd wiki, and added noauto,x-systemd.automount to fstab and now instead of saying "A start job is running..." it's now showing: "...recreate volatile files and directories..."; it came and went so fast I didn't have time to read the entire line.
    Last edited by ctown.myth (2013-03-20 00:16:20)

    So, after coming back home, I booted up the live USB and did fsck -fpv on both root and /home. After that I was at a loss so I restarted, and everything seems to be working now.
    I will mark this thread solved, however if someone knew exactly why this happened and what to do in the future to prevent it, it would be eternally helpful!
    Anyways thanks Arch Forums for nothing /s !

  • Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013 - Built in SSD very slow to boot.

    Hey Everyone,
    Ok here is my problem.. I have a brand new BTO 2.7 GHz Retina MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2013 - ME665LL/A). It has an internal 500gb SSD.
    Right out of the box, it took about 1 minute to boot... The Apple logo would appear and the spinning wheel below would spin for up to a minute before the welcome to Macintosh pre-configure window appears.
    Figuring something had gone wrong with the OS install at manufacture, I booted into the recovery partition, reformatted the SSD and re-installed the OS. After the horrendous amount of time it took to initially download Mac OS 10.9 from iTunes, the install was successful.
    I rebooted the Mac and the same problem… took around a minute to boot…
    I gave up and installed all my software and set up the computer… Ive been using it now for about a month and honestly cant complain.. Its been very fast and works brilliantly: with one caveat. If I restart it or start it up from power - off status, it still takes around a minute to boot.
    Ive booted up into verbose mode and discovered when Mavericks starts the initial driver loads, the computer hangs on the “AppleUSBMultitouchDriver”. It hangs for 30 seconds, then about a second later says “got response code 2 reinitialised driver” and then continues to load Mavericks successfully.
    Knowing exactly what that AppleUSBMultitouchDriver driver does, I removed it from the System / Library / Extensions folder. I plugged in a USB mouse (as the trackpad will now fail to work) and rebooted…
    Bingo! the computer started in about 4 seconds! - however no trackpad (as expected)
    I re-installed the driver, rebooted and it took 1 minute again, but the trackpad worked again..
    I did this a few times to make sure 100% it was this driver causing the problem, and it is…
    so I need help.. anyone experienced this? know a fix?.. or do I have a faulty trackpad? (the trackpad works perfect btw)
    hmmmm…..

    Hey Everyone,
    Ok here is my problem.. I have a brand new BTO 2.7 GHz Retina MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2013 - ME665LL/A). It has an internal 500gb SSD.
    Right out of the box, it took about 1 minute to boot... The Apple logo would appear and the spinning wheel below would spin for up to a minute before the welcome to Macintosh pre-configure window appears.
    Figuring something had gone wrong with the OS install at manufacture, I booted into the recovery partition, reformatted the SSD and re-installed the OS. After the horrendous amount of time it took to initially download Mac OS 10.9 from iTunes, the install was successful.
    I rebooted the Mac and the same problem… took around a minute to boot…

  • Re: Satellite C855-1GN very slow performance - booting procedure takes 15min

    My sister bought a Satellite C855-1GN installed with Win7 64-bit last December (typical - 4 days out of guarantee now) and for sometime has found it getting slower and slower.
    She asked me to take a look at it for her, and she is quite right, this laptop is appalling unresponsive for even the most basic of tasks like opening Windows Explorer, which takes over a minute to open.
    It's a similar story for pretty much any button press on this machine, sometimes longer depending on what has been clicked. Even getting the thing booted up from power button press to desktop being visible (let alone usable) takes a staggering 15 minutes plus.
    Entering text such the password for user to login to Windows, or a URL in any browser (IE and chrome installed by default) results in the spinning circle equivalent to an egg timer for at least 60 seconds before anything happens, as does pretty much any button click. For example, Windows start button or right click on anything whatsoever.
    Initially I suspected some kind of malware / too much rubbish installed. Ran full scans, no issues. Disabled / uninstalled all of the bloatware I could find, still no difference.
    Shut down all power saving features, still appallingly slow.
    Windows Experience / Task Manager / resmon all report nothing out of the ordinary nor anything eating resources. Out of desperation, reset to Out Of Box Experience condition using the hidden recovery partition... which took over 24 hours to complete, and that's not an exaggeration.
    I went to bed, then to work for the day, and it still hadn't finished until I'd been home for a couple of hours.
    This machine now has a completely fresh (albeit Toshiba specific) Win7 install, and runs just as horrifically slowly. I'm still waiting for desktop, 17 minutes after powering it on before typing this. It's had several reboots, and is not still installing anything.
    6GB of RAM is more than ample. Whilst not a P3, 5 or 7, there is no way that an Intel B950 dual core processor running at an admittedly not top class 2.10GHz can be this slow (especially as it wasn't until a few months ago), I've had awful Celerons in my time which have been infinitely faster than this.
    Has anyone else had similarly pathetic performance from this model? If so, we're any of you able to resolve it? Or should we just bin this paperweight?

    Hi
    In the past we have discussed many times about similar issues and some people were not satisfied about performance of brand new notebooks preinstalled with original recovery image.
    As small example you can check this thread. Generally speaking there is described what you should do with this machine. You must, I like to use word optimize, preinstalled operating system. It will definitely run better and faster.
    Other way there can also be problem with HDD. If your sister likes this machine I recommend you a small investment in new hardware. Exchange HDD with SSD. SSDs are not so expensive anymore so you can buy one, I would say, with 250GB and I think it is enough free space for their work.
    You cannot imagine how fast they are. I use one on my old P500. Notebook starts in 40 seconds only.
    Im pretty sure with new SSD and optimized original Win7 that you got with this notebook your sister will have good and pretty fast machine.

  • Windows 2008 R2 Very Slow to Boot from SAN

    I have installed Windows 2008 R2 on a blade in a boot from SAN configuration. I loaded the Cisco Palo FCOE drivers during the install and it went through without a hitch.
    After the install the reboots are painfully slow, like 15 minutes. After boot up performance is great and there are no issues. I have tried changing the FC Adpater Policy from Windows to default and even to VMware but it doesn't make a difference.
    Anyone know if there is a solution to this slow boot time?
    by the way I have an ESX 4 blade running with boot from SAN and it boots normally.
    I have checked FC zoneing and Navisphere and can't figure out why it takes so long to boot.

    I had to open a case with TAC..  Bug ID CSCtg01880 is the issue..  a summary below.  Fix is end of May.
    Symptom:
    SAN Boot using Palo CNA for Window2008 takes 15~30 minutes everytime it boot.
    Conditions:
    This is due to incorrect bit set in FC frame.
    Workaround:
    User need to wait longer for OS to come up. Once OS comes up there will be no service impact.

  • Snow Leopard very slow to boot

    I have an older Macbook with a 2.16Ghz Intel core duo processor 2Gb 667 DDR2 SDRAM and a 120Gb HD (111 Gb free)
    I have just installed Snow Leopard over Tiger from DVD.  After the install the boot-up time was 15mins!  After backing everything up I repartioned the drive and did a clean install, the boot-up time is now 10mins!
    Once up and running the computer is fine, everything work as expected, although I have not yet installed any other software so it is currently "factory fresh".
    I've checked the HD (as best I can) and can find no errors, it runs quietly without abnormal vibration etc. and disk utility reports it as fine.
    Can anyone sugest what the problem is?  10 minutes to boot up cannot be normal, my old 1986 Amstrad, booting from a floppy drive, only took a minute to boot so I'm sure that Apple could beat that.

    It is unlikely that Apple would put the Combo update version in Software update. You have always had to go looking for it.
    I suggest you first go to the Apple Logo > About this Mac and tell us what version of Snow Leopard is installed and how much RAM (memory) you have.
    IF ...  you have 10.6.0 to 10.6.3 then you have the basic Snow Leopard.  That would need updating using the 10.6.8 Combo updater followed by Software Update as many as show (probably 4 or 5 to include security and iTunes updates).
    At this point you will also have the App Store.
    This is a big update and could take half an hour or more, time that has no connection with the current slowness you are experiencing.
    OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then, providing you have more than 1GB of RAM you should see an improvement. but in reality, you could do with 4GB.

  • MOVED: 880gm-e43 with Crucial SSD = very slow windows boot times

    This topic has been moved to Windows 64bit.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155325.0

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.
    From your description, I see the issue you are facing is there is no menu to choose OS when booting dual boot(Windows 7 & Windows 8). Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
    It seems that the Windows 7 entry is missing, currently, we can use a tool –
    EasyBCD to get it back. After downloading it, choose the Add/Edit panel item, select the OS you're missing and let the program detect it. Then simply click the Add button to add the missing OS entry.
    At the meantime, here is a related link which demonstrates how to keep Windows 7 as the default OS in dual boot, you may use it for a reference.

  • Very Slow W2K boot with Promise 378

    I just upgraded my system and installed a new WD74G Raptor, initially on the VIA SATA. This worked great, the boot time was really fast, around a minute, and the drive performed great.
    I then wanted to add two 250G Maxtor drives to my system, and after spending some time trying to find out how to configure the promise RAID I gave up and decided to move the Raptor to the Promise SATA, and use the VIA RAID. (any info on setting up the Promise RAID would be great!). Once I moved the Raptor to the Promise RAID the windows boot time went up 5x. It stalls all the way through, not just at "detecting network setting", it even stalls after "loading personal settings". I hear the dive tick every 20 seconds, then finally after a few minutes it cranks and everything loads. After this the drive seems to work fine.
    Any thoughts on why the change to the Promise SATA from the VIA SATA would cause this? I've got all the latest drivers, W2K-SP4, Athlon643000+,  BIOS v1.2.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    it's been mentioned a number of times that using the windows flash utility can sometimes cause problems, but there's more people out there who are more expert than me who are probably going to comment on that
    Well, in my experiance the windows flash is linked to problems.
    Making a flash and rescue disk is far safer
    Just remember to disable the boot sector protection in bios.

  • Very slow to boot over 5 minutes at least plus other issues

    My 24 " imac has been having issues, it basically does "ok" but when it freezes up and has to be rebooted it will take at least 5 minutes to boot. its just been acting funny programs are locking up more and more. i think my kids are to blame(6,4, and 2), i keep noticing things that are changed on it from time to time, like now i have no icons on my desktop ,where as the other day i had about 20, except for the hard drive. My best guess i need to reinstall or repair leopard?

    I would try booting to the Install DVD that came with your computer and running Disk First Aid as a start. That would be a start to check on disk errors.
    With kids on the computer, I would recommend separate users for each. With their login passwords you can still check on their activities and you can limit their usage and access without limiting yours. Also, if they do something to mess up their user account, it shouldn't affect your user. Check into parental controls in the Help menu for more info.
