Slow boot problem

I have recently installed a Seagate SATA HDD in my computer and since then, I have had a longer than normal (previous) delay in completing the BIOS boot. I changed the IDE Primary and Secondary from AUTO to USER thinking that might speed things up but all it did was change the message that was displayed during the initial boot time. I am now getting a message that says "flash recovery" and then the computer waits about 30 seconds before identifying the drives. From then on the boot is normal speed.
Any idea what the message means?

A Bit off topic:
I've seen many posts about enabling/dissabling "PCI IDE Bus Master" but never found an explanation why should be selected one or other option. Can someone give some light about it ?

Win XP slow boot problem solved

Hi guys,
Just want to share my discovery re: slow boot.
For Win XP Pro users with 1 HDD:
1. Go to Device Manager
2. Select IDE Controller
3. Select Primary Channel (assuming HDD is connected to IDE1 which according to the MSI manual should be the case)
4. Click on the Advance Setting Tab
5. On Device 1, Select None for Device Type and click OK
6. Wait for a while because it takes some time for the window to close
And that's it !!! I did tried the bootvis optimization first but only about 5 seconds were taken off from the start up. I also took out the jumper in my WD HDD and even replaced my IDE cable. Before my discovery, it took 2 mins to boot my PC. Now it only takes 30 sec (i.e., from Win XP logo to desktop).
Hope it works for you guys. Good Luck !!!

Slow Boot problem with New K8N Neo4 Platinum HELP

Hello,
I just set up my new rig, the system specs are..
amd64 3500+
K8N Neo4 Platinum PCI-E (non SLI)
2x80gb SATA (insockets 5 and 6) Silicon
2x512 ram generic
BFG 6800 Ultra OC
antec 550 truepower
The entire install went well.. It zipped through windows98... But when it tired to Boot windows98.. it went really really slow.. The animation bar at the bottom was chugging.. like lagging.. and took well over 10 minutes to fully load..
I check RAM was not it.. re-connected.. was not it.. new SATA cables.. no idea any help would do.. getting impatient and tired =O must get it up tonight!

Don't know if you or many people have seen this it's appeared over the last few days K8N Neo4 Platinum - NOTE: NVIDIA nForce 3/4 Series board DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME
There are people running 98 but my own understanding was that 98 could only use a sata drive as a data drive & could not be installed on a sata drive. Where have you installed it ???
see Win 98SE IDE problem.... Has anyone worked it out yet?

Slow Booting Problems

When i reboot my pc it seems to stick at the 8xtreme menu and hangs there for about 4 - 5 mins and when i look at the d brakcet on the back of my pc , led1 is lite red i have refered to my manual which stats the following
Boot Attempt

I ve rebuilt the pc
reset everything
clear cmos
set bios to defaults
but i still get the prob
ones pc has finnaly booted it seems to run fine
could anyone help me resolve this problem

Why would he need to reinstall windows? its clearly a problem during the detection of devices.
not true, if Windows is that corrupted or he has a boot sector virus then the stall could be realated with the BIOS attempting to turn control over to the OS.
I would as said, try booting to a Windows 98 Floppy (set the floopy drive as the 1st boot device in the BIOS) and if that starts up all fine then it is deff your hard drive or IDE setup. If you said you haven't changed anything recently then it is probably safe to rule out a Master/Slave pin header issue.

New Lenovo W530 SLOW booting

New W530 Type 2436-CTO with Win 7 Pro, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD. This is my second W530
Problem when I boot is it boots very quickly to the Welcome screen and then instead of going to the Win 7 Home screen, the screen goes dark except for the cursor and stays dark with hard drive activiity for about 45 to 55 seconds before the home screen pops up. After than the computer runs as normal and very fast.
Some thing in the boot sequence must be the problem. I did all the Windows updates, MS updates and Lenovo updates. I am mainly a user so any help needs to be specific with detail directions. Hate to send it back when it all works perfectly except it takes near two minutes to boot.
Last W530 boot like lightning - Please help me

When I have had slow booting problems, I have found help via a web search for 'diagnose slow boot times Windows 7', or the like.
At the stage where you are having the long delay, there should be Event Logs listing how long each step in the boot process is taking, and whether that is a change from the previous time the computer booted.
Here is a guide I have found helpful:
http://itexpertvoice.com/home/what%E2%80%99s-taking-so-long-how-to-fight-slow-startup-times-in-windo...
^^ It walks you through looking at the Event Logs for particular types of messages, especially related to new delays in startup.
Hope you find your issue and get it fixed.

Windows 8/8.1 slow boot (sudden onset)

Can anyone help with a slow boot problem on Windows 8/8.1, please? This concerns an Asus Zenbook. It's about 15 months old, and has always booted very quickly. Now, all of a sudden, it takes 5 minutes to get beyond the Windows logo screen.
I have tried all the standard things (clean boot, turn off Asus Fast Boot, etc), up to and including Resetting Windows. No good: on either Windows 8 or 8.1, it still takes 5 minutes. I have looked at the Windows System Log, and the delay occurs
right at the beginning of the Boot process. E.g., on the most recent boot I see as the first 3 entries (note, I'm in Europe, so dates are dd/mm/yyyy, and times are in 24-hour clock):
Information   10/03/2014 19:36:23   Kernel-General   12   None The operating system started at system time ‎2014‎-‎03‎-‎10T19:36:23.490074300Z.
Information   10/03/2014 19:36:23   Kernel-Boot   30   None The firmware reported boot metrics.
Information   10/03/2014 19:40:26   FilterManager   6   None File System Filter 'FileInfo' (6.3, ‎2013‎-‎08‎-‎22T11:38:45.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
and you can see the 4-minute gap between the 2nd and 3rd entries. That's where the delay always comes, though sometimes the "reported boot metrics" doesn't show.
A little later in the procedure I do always get the following warning:
Warning   10/03/2014 19:40:31   Kernel-PnP   219   (212) The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\2&daba3ff&2.
However because that comes later I can't see how it can be causing the problem, and I suspect it's an independent issue.
The machine appears to run normally once booted. It is protected against viruses by Windows Defender. I have looked at many posts on this and other fora on slow boot, and tried everything suggested, but none of the solutions have worked.
I have also looked widely on the web for problems with the File System Filter but nothing relevant comes up. The machine is under warranty, and could be sent back, but that would be a serious pain so if there is a solution I can implement I would much
prefer to do so. Thank you for looking at this.
There are no stupid rats, only misguided students

Hi Seglea,
I have exact the same issue as you have! The only difference is the time period the splash screen / logo screen with the dots spinning in a circle hangs / delays / freezes: exactly 120 seconds. You can set your watch to that delay. During these 120 seconds
nothing happens, no HDD LED activity, just nothing. Having passed the 120 s, the HDD LED begins to flicker and the logon screen is displayed 15 s later.
For the first look at it, I believe that it is a timeout problem. Usually Windows services retry to start after just these 120 seconds (e.g. Software Protection is configured this way, but in my case it does not start although configured as auto delayed).
I believe that the clue is to find out which service causes this delay.
My event logs are exactly the same as yours (without boot metrics), I do also have your WudRfd warning!
When started, the machine operates in a fast and stable way, as if nothing harmful had ever happened.
I do also have an SSD installed as only (system) disk.
In my case the startup screen of the BIOS also stays visible for more than 10 seconds, longer as on any other computer I have had before. I also had problems during installation of Windows 8.1. After the first reboot during OS installation the BIOS POST
screen restarted in an endless loop. I could solve that problem by setting the dedicated internal Graphics memory to less than 1024M, although I own 32 GBytes of RAM.
Nothing helped so far, I permuted my BIOS settings, even Fast Boot or Ultra Fast Boot did not help.
I have installed the latest drivers, I even tried to update the firmware of my SSD, but Intels toolbox told me, that my 3 years old 520 series SSD (never had seen any firmware updates before) was up-to date! Thus Windows 8.1 should handle with it. I also
did a quick analyzation with the tools, but everything was ok.
I just run chkdsk /r /f, as Zigzag proposed, but I had nearly the same problems as you have had:
Chkdsk got stuck at 10 % for 10 minutes then the machine rebooted with the 2 minutes delay and event logs do not show any Checkdisk entry.
In the Applications log, I noticed a igfxCUIService1.0.0.0 sourced entry as the first entry after reboot approximately 2 minutes after the end of the delay: The description of the event-ID "0" from the source "igfxCUIService1.0.0.0" could not be found. Event:
started/resumed which sounds ok. But it says that the component that caused this event, is not installed. (my translation from the German log)
The device manager shows that everything is fine and working well.
Here's my System constellation:
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Intel Ivy Processor i7-3770 with 32 GBytes RAM, Intel 520 Series SSD via SATA 6G, BD Writer from LG via SATA 3G
BIOS F20e with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled (Windows 8.1 did install the GPT partitions):
Fast Boot enabled/disabled doesn't bother, Intel Virtualization Technoloy Enabled, VT-d enabled, OS Type Windows 8, Network Stack disabled, Secure Boot Mode standard, AHCI, USB 3.0 xHCI, Internal Graphics Size now 32M, (didn't bother up
to 512M, 1024M BIOS POST-screen endless loop), Intel Rapid Start Technology Enabled (disabled same effect) => I installed Windows 8.1 with "Intel SATA Preinstall driver For AHCI RAID Mode" in the F6 mode, as Intel recommended, Marvell ATA Controller
for eSATA (disabling same effect), ErP same effects on dis/enabled.
Windows 8.1 Pro German. Same effect when with or without LAN connected
I am thinking of Reinstalling Windows 8 with CSM mode without UEFI, but I believe that would not have any effect. Maybe I'll try another system disk for a reinstallation (HDD or other older SSD).
It would be nice if this problem could be solved by the community or by Microsoft, since I am not the only one!

K8N Neo2 slow boot

machine is a MSI K8N Neo Platinum with a 3500+ cpu, 1 gig hyper x PC3500, 9800pro, audigy2, seagate 120gig.
Problem is after I installed the nvidia platform drivers it started to have a slow boot problem. I have xp set to the SOS boot, and the blue screen where it shows cpu and memory count it just sits there with no hard drive activity for about 1 min, then the hard drive starts flashing and it boots normally. Any idea why it would pause like that? I'm thinking driver issue but then more people would have this too. I tried dumping xp and reloading, but using a different order of install, I previously installed xp, then SP2 then the nvidia drivers. Anyone else heard of this?

Yes Fine found it non of the these boot options checked on mine. Just Found it in Help:- Quote
/so
Adds the /sos switch to the specified OSEntryLineNum, directing the operating system to display device driver names while they are being loaded.
There u go didnt know that
in your place i think id go back to the original XP drivers, as i said earlier there have been some issues with the NVIDIA Ide Drivers. No one seems to have percieved any performane issue (other than 1 works t'other dont)
Dont think its to do with the order of install, which can be made easier by slipsteaming SP2 (A forum search will give u some useful links for this). The order youve taken emulates that anyway.
Other People have played with the Master/Slave configuration on all drives, it seems that the Nvidia drivers dont always work with the Auto CLS setting
best of luck

Slow boot up after 10.6.8 issue resolved?

OK here goes. It's not really a question. Just to get your attention about how I may have figured out why my iMac was having slow booting problems. As much as 6 minutes long! It seems after reading somewhere online about issues with Norton Security software not being compatible with Lion, I decided to uninstall it and voila, it seems to have fixed my slow boot issues thus far. I've been dealing with problems with the whole booting process ever since my computer auto updated itself to 10.6.8. So if this helps anybody else, you may want to consider this option. I got this "free" security software from my Internet provider, (Xfinity) if that helps. It could be that other anti virus software might affect your slower boot up times. I'm back to a reasonable minute or less on boot ups now. Not sure if I actually solved my own problem. I hope so. I haven't tried out my printer or other peripheral except Time Machine which was helpful when I had to reform my drive because of all of this. Who knew, right?

Run ALL the cleaning and maintenance features of the free OnyX and reboot, should regain some speed there too.
Carbon Copy Cloning your boot drive to a external powered HFS+journaled drive, hold option and booting from it, checking it out completely, then reverse cloning back onto the internal drive, booting from it, then running all of OnyX again will also speed up the computer (with a hard drive) as it optimizes the drive.

Slow boot after installing SSD drive + Grub problem + Kernel panicks

Hey
So i just got a Samsung 840 EVO, and was ready to see my system fly, so i installed Arch on it, the instalation was kinda weird, since im in the middle of some major developing for a startup i couldnt risk to lose time configuring my all system so what i did was this:
Install Arch on the SSD (/root on sdb1) while keeping my other Arch install (/root on sda5) and sharing the /home and /swap (on sda6 and sda7) between both systems, i installed grub on sdb also because i didnt knew what to do
So now when i boot the laptop i get the grub from sda wich only has Old Arch and windows, if i press f9 at boot and boot from the ssd i go to sdb grub that has Old Arch, New Arch and Windows, since the SSD was instaled via a caddy it doesnt get recognized in the BIOS, but strangely i get 2 Universal Hard Drives (hdd and sdd) when pressing f9
So first question is, should i reeinstall grub on sda or is there a way to put the SDD as primary?
The other problem is that systemd-analyze is giving me worst times than with the hdd, and i dont see a huge improvement with the SSD as i should. Is it because i have /home /swap on the hdd? I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives and did as told.

You did not share what the kernel panic says, but I guess it has to do with your root file systems not mounted correctly. If it happens like 75% of the time, sounds like you are using /dev/sdax and it gets enumarated differently? Use UUID's instead.
Your "slow boot" is a seperate problem, see the thread you linked too for how to fix that.
Its a fresh install but i alredy have DE and programs, i used Helmuth script to install all the stuff, just so i didnt forget to install stuff.
No idea what this means, but if it is some third party script downloaded off the internet - use them only if you understand exactly what it does, else the chances are you will run into some problems with no idea how you got there. For simply keeping a list of packages to install, put them in a text file and pipe them into pacman (see also here.

Slow boot up of 2008 macbook pro - Firewire port problem?

My 2008 15" macbook pro mostly works fine, but whenever I shut it down or restart it (as opposed to just sending it to sleep) it gets stuck trying to reboot. It usually takes several attempts, and so far, eventually starts if I leave it for a while, like a few hours.
I try all the basic things, resetting Pvram, trying safety mode, checking the disk for errors in disk utility, but they don't help at all.
It's been like this for about 6 months now, I mostly just never shut it down as it wakes up from sleep mode fine. But I'd like to find out what the problem is as every time I need to restart it I panic that it will never come back on again. Recently I booted it in verbose mode to see what the problem is and I'm getting a never ending error message saying something like this:
FIrewire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt
Seems like it's a problem wth my Firewire Port? I have never used Firewire, so wondered if I could just disable it somehow? my problem seems similar to this guy:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9001641?searchText=Long%20boot%20up%20time s%202008%2015%22%20Macbook%20pro%20-%20firewire%20port%20problem?
But I'm a bit clueless so I'm not sure if his problem is the same... mine seems to be mostly related to boot up rather than kernal panic (I have no idea what that is to be honest!) and I don't want to just try his fix and break my computer!
My cd/dvd drive also stopped working around the same time, coincidentally the above post also says his drive is not working, I'm not sure if the two issues could be related?
Any thoughts advice much appreciated!
P.S. The machine has already had a new motherboard and graphics card put in by Apple as per the recall on this model

Ok, I copied the guy in the above thread and disabled my firewire by deleting this file:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext
Tested it a couple of times and it seems to have solved my slow boot up problem! I'm down from a 3 hour boot up to a minute or so!
Now, bizarrely, it won't shut down properly... I get stuck at a grey screen when I try to shut down, so I just have to press the dreaded power button. No idea why, but still, I'd rather it powered up properly, so I guess I'll just leave it as it is, I rarely shut it down fully anyway.

Slow boot and RAM Problems?

My system began booting up very slow about a month or more back. It takes about 5 minutes to boot. I had a event that began a week back where the boot sequence would freeze on the RAM initialization step. So I took out one stick of the ram and it did boot but still took 5 min. or more to do so. I dont boot often but when I do Im not that patent and it is very anoying. I have almost decided to reinstall everything fresh to deal with that issue but I am wondering if the RAM issue may be the socket and not the ram itself. Can I put the 2nd ram stick of the pair in slot 4 instead of slot 3 with the first stick in slot 1 or do i need to pair 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. I also wonder if anyone has had this slow boot issue and if anything else could help me other than reinstall fresh? Thanks for any help.

For dual channel, slots 1 & 3, or 2 & 4 need to be used. Have you tested & tried each stick individually in slot 1? Before doing a complete fresh OS install, try a CMOS clear with the power cord removed, set Optimized Defaults, & only 1 stick RAM. I wouldn't rule out the PSU beginning to act up either. If possible, test with a single rail +12V PSU of around 30 amps. You might try running some HDD diagnostic tests, & have you run any checks for viruses?

PC with slow boot and pc speed, sudden high pc usage, delay-freeze when opening/performing something

Hi,
Before everything, two things:
1. I'm not a native english speaker so i may have some problems to speak properly/as objective as i'd like to.
2 . I'm writing in this section because i don't know the cause of my pc issues so i can't categorize them.
Now, my computer is a Toshiba satellite L755-S5244, Windows 7 Home premium 64 bits, Intel pentium CPU B940 2Ghz, 4 Gb RAM, and I'm writing this message using it.
I bought the laptop in December of 2011 and at the beggining it was working normally. Someone else used the computer these last months and he left the pc without antivirus protection; when i installed one (Avast) and start to analyze the pc it suddenly shutted down. It wasn't able to boot, so after some trys to restore/enter in safe mode I finally used the Toshiba Recovery Wizard to get the pc to the original factory settings. The process was sucessfull, so the first thing i did after finish the process was install a new antivirus (this time i used Kaspersky Pure) and the the analysis showed no threats as i expected.
However, before the recovery process i realized of some slow performance on the computer, like talking a bit too long to opening files or menus, control panel... almost anything was opening with a little delay even just after start the pc. This problem continued even after the recovery process. Also, an online game -League of legends- which was working fine when i just bought the pc, developed some issue: the screen and the audio randomly frezees for like 3-5 seconds. These problems seems to be related between each other.
But that wasn't all. After the recovery to the original factory settings, i just installed a few things:
-Kaspersky Pure 2.0, CCleaner (free), Mozila Firefox, and League of legends.
Later I also installed Microsoft Office 2010.
The antivirus showed no threats. The game kept with the freeze thing.
And 2 days ago i was playing league of legends and downloading Skype when the pc suddenly got too slow. I restarted it. After the restart it took a long time to boot, and before the windows login screen loaded there was a black screen where only the mouse was showed; the start-up was slow too, (this one showed a blue screen with the mouse too -but not BSOD-) all this took like 15-20 minutes; that never happened before so i restarted the computer again but the problem was the same: slow boot, slow desktop start-up (let's not even talk about opening something).
I went to the repair menu (f8) and try to restore the system but it didn't change anything. I checked for memory issues but there wasn't. I looked also for starting problems but the repair didn't find anything. All in there was saying: "the computer performance seems normal", but it wasn't. Like entering to windows in normal mode was talking to long, i tried the safe mode. It was also slow but not that much. When i entered, a system restore which i wasn't able to performance before in normal mode popped-up and said that the system was restored sucessfully to the first restore point -just after the factory recovery, but it apparently didn't fix the slow bot issue.
Even in safe mode the software was working slow so i decided to go for the toshiba recovery wizard again, and looked in here, the forums -and the rest of the net- for problems like mine.
This time the Toshiba Recovery Wizard took like ages to finish. 3 hours just for recovering, and like 7 more hours just installing the drivers. The boot/start-up was still slow, so i think this was the cause of the slow recovery because the wizard restarts the computer a lot.
When the factory settings recovery finished, the first boot was slow, also the start up, the programs, the start menu, the control panel, ... everything was slow the first time i opened it. If i keep using the same program, it seems normal, but randomly freezes if i select some option, of press something (like this browser, google chrome, even now when i'm writing this message or before where i was registering into the forums). As obvious, because this slow performance i'm really not comfortable using this computer.
I used the HDD SDD Alert but it says the HDD is working fine (the hard drive doesn't make weirds sounds, i almost don't hear it at all); also i did a PC Diagnostic with the PC diagnostic tool and everything passed the test. I can't think of virus/malware because i did the recovery wizard, twice. I just installed Avast again and it didn't find anything. With the task manager i noticed of a high pc usage (almost always 100%) was showing for a really short moment when/after the computer freezes.
So, i don't know how to solve this slow performance.
The last thing i did was download those speed-up softwares: SpeedUpMyPc, RegCurePro, SpeedyPC pro and Pareto logic Health Advisor. They scanned the pc for free and found like 100 system performance issues, but I'm not able to use these programms to fix the issues if i dont buy them. Also i'm not even sure if that will fix my problems.
That's why i'm here, looking for a way to identify/fix them. One last thing: all this time i've been checking the temperature of the laptop but is never hot -now is not even warm. Now i'm afraid of restarting the PC again cuz i know it will take a long time to get into a kinda stable performance like right now.
So that's all. If you read all this, have my thanks. Also, any help would be really appreciated it.
EDIT:
A new thing happened. When i try to installed league of legends, the setup told me that my hard drive may be corrupted and the file won't copy, i skip it a few times but the installation took a long of time (half hour) and the error kept ocurring. I hope this can may be a clue about what is happening to my pc.

Satellite L755-S5244
If you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media and still have trouble, then you know it's not due to software.
the setup told me that my hard drive may be corrupted and the file won't copy, i skip it a few times but the installation took a long of time (half hour) and the error kept ocurring.
In particular, that sort of thing occurs when a hard drive is failing. Time to call Toshiba's tech support at 1-800-457-7777 (from the US) or 1-949-859-4273 (from outside the US).

Slow booting Tower and AIO

Both of my Beige G3's are slow booting eg black screen for approx two minutes before they hit the grey screen then everything seems to run normally. Figured it was a problem with memory testing so turned it off in the control panel but that changed nothing. Both have 768MB of PC100 memory.
Both are running OS 9.2, the All-in-one has had a cpu swap to a Sonnet G4 500MHZ zif card with factory jumper positions while the Tower has an Apple G3 450MHZ zif card at 70MHZ system bus. Both had the cuda resets and both have new 7200 rpm hard drives with fresh system installations.
The AIO has also been partitioned and has OSX and OS 9.2 on separate partitions with the X partition being 7.5 GB in the first 8 GB of disk space. The AIO is using it's built in video with a 4MB card to bump it up to 6MB of VRAM.
The tower only has the main partition with 9.2 and a scratch disk for PS. The tower is running an ATI Radeon 7000 mac edition video card.
Oh and they have also had brand new PRAM batteries installed so I'm stumped at this point as to what it is or is this normal for both?
Kevin

What version of OSX are you running?
I had a similar issue with my Beige G3 minitower (G3/500 upgrade; 768MB RAM; 80 + 120G Maxtor 7200 rpm drives; ATI Radeon 9200) with 10.2.8; we called it "55 seconds of midnight." However, mine would not show the gray apple screen. After just under a minute, the monitor would come up and be about 2/3 of the way through the progress bar. Other than that, teh computer ran fine.
There are a couple of issues at play. The Beige G3 ALWAYS boots initially to a screen res of 640x480, then switches to the user-selected res after the prefs load. If the monitor or video card cannot support 640x480, you get black until your user prefs load.
Some have reported this after replacing the original hard drive. Others say it happens when they installed a PCI video card. You've done both.
Try temporarily removing RAM until you have LESS than 192MB installed and see if it gets better. If it does, then this Apple article applies:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25564
The bottom line for me is that it's a Jaguar problem. When I installed Panther via XPostFacto v3.1, the problem went away. The old beast runs under Panther much better than it did under Jag.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
- Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
- Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
- Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
- Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
- Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
- Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.
