U410 increased boot time .

Hello , i own a lenovo u410 .. like 1-2 months back my machines boot time increased a lot .. that time i found that the ssd was not working properly so got it replaced .
Now however the boot time has again increased, the ssd works as intel rapid storage technology also works .
I dont know why the boot time has shot up so much to like 2 minutes , earlier it was max 30 seconds .
Any solutions ?

The disk may have a few bad sectors, probably where the OS files are stored. You can try to repair it using a third party utility such as Disk Warrior. But be sure to backup everything first.

  • 2011 MacBook progress bar on startup, increased boot time (15-20mins)

    A few months ago I was given a MacBook through my school, and it's been operating fine up until now.
    Within the last week, I have noticed extended load time for OSX and a grey loading bar below the usual apple logo and spinning ring on startup.
    Luckily for me, I have bootcamped this MacBook with Windows 7, and am using that operating system to write this message.
    I did some research and found that often what caused the grey loading bar are problems with the hard disk, which can be solved by doing a disk repair with the OSX Install CD, but when this is done, i recieve the error "Incorrect number of thread records," and it tells me that the utility is unable to repair the disk.
    I need to use OSX at school, because it's where all of my schoolwork is stored, and i'd like to be able to use it at a reasonable speed.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Slowing boot times

    Since installing the latest security release last week, I have noticed a signifigantly increased boot time. I also sporadically get a mesage that the disk I have inserted has a format unrecognized by the system. I have tried running disk repair and Macjanitor to no avail. Any ideas ?

  • How to reduce Boot time of 10.8.3

    How to reduce Boot time of 10.8.3(Mountain Lion),Have Upgraded from 10.6.x recently,
    Dont have any start up items, No Dual Boot, No user accounts not even guest(Turned off)
    I really Dont Know what to do, Please help me in this..

    Go to the Startup Disk system preferences and select your boot drive in there. This will ensure the system has your main boot drive set in the PRAM as a the default boot device. Without this, the system may pause while it searches for an available boot device.
    Do you have FileVault disk encryption enabled? If so then this may increase boot times a touch.
    Do you have any system monitors, firewalls, or security software installed? Again these may also increase boot times as they load in the background, especially if they use kernel extensions.
    Finally, boot to the OS X Recovery HD partition by holding the Command-R keys at startup. In here, launch Disk Utility and run a permissions fix on the boot drive, followed by running a repair on the boot drive (both done in the First Aid tab). If there are any access permissions or format structure issues on the boot drive then this should fix them.
    Is your hard drive relatively full? If you only have a few GB of space left on the drive then you might consider removing some files to give the system breathing room to better manage memory. Additionally, how much RAM do you have installed? If you have less than 4GB then consider upgrading. While older versions of OS X could get away with 1-2GB of RAM, this amount will only bog down Lion and Mountain Lion. 4GB is a recommended minimum.
    Some of these things could provide cumulative delays that you might find noticeable at bootup.

  • Ios 6 orientation doesn't work and boot time increases. How to solve these issues for dummy? I don't understand code and strings suggested by others.

    I just upgraded from ios 5 to ios 6 on my ipad2. Now orientation doesn't work properly. Boot time increase, it takes longer time to boot. Is there any configuration to solve these issues? I can't understand the explanation with code and strings found on google to solve the orientation issue. Any easy configuration for dummy ?

    It supports well for ios 5. I couldn't remember (5.x.x) exactly but I always keeps update for ios5 and the abnormality starts when I upgraded to ios 6.

  • U410 windows 7 slow boot times

    Hello. I have had my u410 for just under a year and it use to work great! However, last March I noticed that my boot time were no where near as fast as it use to be. Before it was anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds, now it takes upwards of two minutes.
    To try and fix this I just tried to reinstall windows 7. I tried the one key recover option but all it would do was boot me into a screen with a green leaf and then sit there for about a minute. There was nothing to click on here and ater a minute it would restart again and send me back to my normal desktop.
    I scanned my hardrive for faulty sectors and everything with the windows error checking test (properties -> tools on the c drive) and it seemed to come back normal.
    Any ideas on how to fix this or what to check? I feel like my ssd partition on the hybrid drive is not being utilized somehow. 
    Thank you

    Seems like the intel SRT configuration got messed up. I don't know if there's another way to get the Intel SRT working again without resorting to factory defaults, or clean install using the updated intel SRT setup guide.
    My knowledge with SSD caching is limited but I recommend you to follow these threads to see if you can revive your Intel SRT configuration.

  • Installing UltraNav Driver increases boot up time

    I'm using a Thinkpad W520 with Windows 7 and a Crucial M4 256GB SSD (not sure if this is also part of the cause of the problem). Normally the boot up time is between 20 to 25 seconds. However, when I update the UltraNav driver to the latest version, the boot up time is significantly increased to around 50 seconds. And when I use Device Manager to roll back the version of the UltraNav driver to PS/2 Compatible Mouse, the boot up time is normal again.
    My question is: has anyone else also observed this incompatibility issue between UltraNav with (Windows 7 or SSD)? Is there a solution to this problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It sounds like some conflict in drivers somewhere. What if you install the drivers, but uncheck the startup entries in MSCONFIG?
    My boot times have always been fine with the drivers installed.

  • Snow Leopard boot time increased after software update

    I don't know if somebody else is having the same problem, but it has happened to me two times after clean installations.
    Snow Leopard was booting faster than Leopard in my MBP 2,4, 4gb ram and 7200rpm hard drive. It took around 30-35 seconds. But after installing the basic apps: iWork, iLife and its updates, it increased to 50 seconds.
    I think that's a big difference. I thought something was wrong so I cleaned installed again without restoring a Time machine backup. TOTALLY clean installation. It's been even faster for a week always booting in less than 35 secs.
    Today, I run the iTunes update and voilá... it takes 50-55 seconds to boot up.
    Is there anybody else experiencing the same issue? I'm not a paranoid and never measured the boot time, but 35 seconds to 55 is a big difference and you really feel it is slower than before.

    Same here. Since upgrading to 10.6.1. Much slower boot times now on my Mac Pro desktop. And when I launch Safari it takes about 20 seconds before my home page completely loads.
    My Macbook still boots very quickly. And Safari loads incredibly fast (less than a second)..

  • 9iAS R2 Automatic Startup at Boot time on Windows

    How to successfully start the 9iAS R2 Application Server at boot time.
    Many of you are still struggling with the problem of 9iAS R2 not automatically starting up properly when your system is restarted. I've been fighting this issue for several weeks and have found the problems, and pitfalls, involved with fixing it. It really is a race condition of things trying to start up before something it depends on is fully functioning, or some application starting out of sequence.
    There is a bug associated with this problem; BUG 2511270 ( 9IASV2 Need Ability to Restart All Components in Instance After a Reboot). The bug report itself has very little useful information in it other than to say it doesn't work, and manually starting the components is the only known fix. If you're like me. this isn't a good enough answer.
    Your mileage may vary.
    My configuration has a 9.2.0.1 customer database, and a 9.0.1.3.1 infrastructure database that is also the application server database, including portals, all installed on the same system which is a Pentium 4, Windows 2000 machine, with 1.5GB of memory. I only use a single LISTENER, which runs out of the 9.2 DB ORACLE_HOME.
    Chapter 5 (Starting and Stopping the Application Server) of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide shows all of the commands necessary, in the proper order, to manually start the infrastructure and application server. Unfortunately, there is also some incorrect information in this document.
    Part 1c in the section Starting an Infrastructure Using Commands on Windows, using SQLPlus to connect to and start the database, does not work unless oracle.exe is already running (which means that you recently shutdown the database by command, not with "services>stop"). If your system is rebooting, oracle.exe is not running. This exact same information is documented in the Database Administrators Guide, Chapter 4, Starting a Database. If you don't have these manuals handy the offending commands are as follows:
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\sqlplus /nologsql> connect sys/password_for_sys as sysdba
    sql> startup
    sql> quit
    Since we can't put some variant of the above in a command script to manually start the databases and wait for it to open, the only option left is to let the databases come up in "automatic" mode when the system boots, and run the remaining commands when they are open. If your system is like mine, that can take several minutes, even after you've logged on and gotten your first cup of coffee.
    If you set up a command script to run at startup, you don't have any control over when the script gets run, more than likely, in this case, before the databases are open. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not have anything resembling a sleep (timer, wait, delay, etc) command that can be used in a script. There may be something somewhere, but I can't find it. So I wrote one in Perl, which does have a sleep command. You can use anything you have available to you that will function as needed. We obtained our Perl distribution from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Perl.
    The next issue has to do with starting the Oracle Internet Directory. The documentation shows two commands to execute, but in reality, only the first one is required, it automatically takes care of the second one. Refer to the command file below for the correct one.
    The last issue deals with running the dcmctl commands. If you run these commands one at a time in a command window, you won't notice anything askew. If you run them, as shown, in a script, they will stop execution of the script when they complete, and there will be no indication that anything wrong has happened. The CMD.exe still exists, it just isn't running. They must be run in there own cmd command as shown below.
    Now, let's review the steps necessary to get all this to work.
    Put the two scripts shown below in there target directories and edit any necessary changes for your system.
    In Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services set the OracleServiceSID's and the OracleOraHomeTNSListener to Automatic Startup Type. All other Oracle* services should be set to Manual.
    In Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks double click on the Add Scheduled Task item,
    select Next,
    Browse to where your startup script resides,
    double click the file name,
    select "When my computer starts",
    select Next,
    Enter a user name and password (that has ORA_DBA privileges)
    select Next, then Finish.
    Uncomment the first exit in the iasStartup.cmd script.
    Reboot your system.
    Compare the database open time stamp in each database alert log to the time recorded in the iasStartup.log file to determine you first time delay. Add 10-20 seconds or more to this difference just to be safe. If you add services at a later time, this number may need to be increased.
    Edit the iasStartup.cmd file to include this time delay for the first sleep command and comment out the first exit command.
    Reboot your system.
    After several minutes, all infrastructure and application server processes should be up and running. You can check this in several ways; Look at the log file to see if all commands were run, Look at the Windows Task Manager to see if all expected tasks are running, Look at Services to see what is running. Finally, you can look at the Infrastructure Enterprise Manager Website and click on each instance to determine the current status of each system component. On mine, the component Portal:portal:7779 always shows as down but in reality it is functioning.
    The following command script only starts the minimum set of processes that I require. Your requirements may be different so refer to the documentation for additional commands.
    Enjoy.

  • Oracle 9i installed, now slower boot times

    I recently installed Oracle 9i on my Dell home computer running Windows xp professional. Since then, I've experienced significantly slower boot times. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks.
    Rob

    When you install Oracle, I figure out you mean DB9iR2, unless you explicitly state which version you are working with, it creates several services that start automatically when you boot your system, services such as listener, Oracle Http Server, and the most IO consuming, the Oracle database service.
    You can set the services to manual and start the on demand, as previously suggested. But it is important to specify the physical characteristics of your host, such as memory, CPU and IO transfer rate, if the boot time has noticeable increased it could mean your hardware is not fast enough or you have bottleneck problems already. You might be required to increase RAM or change the hard disk.

  • Boot Times on Leopard

    Ever since I upgraded to Leopard a few months back, I noticed my boot times increased from about 10-20 seconds to up to what is now ranging between 45 seconds to a full 2 minutes
    Just wanted to know if anyone else was facing boot time issues on their macbook pros
    Post your boot times here if you can please

    Okay, I just ran the entire tests and fixes through both OnyX and Main Menu
    Boot times were about 45-60 seconds
    Then I tried resetting the PRAM and after I heard it reset for 3 times, the boot time got reduced to 30-35 seconds
    Although the first time, my applications seemed longer to open but at least the boot times were down
    So looks like holding down the Apple/option/p/r reset for 3 times worked for me
    Will 4 or even 5 times do any better?
    I'd like to know how resetting it over and over again helps with the boot time

  • Mavericks Boot time/memory usage

    Has anyone expierencing?> Currently using my mac pro 2012 june, after update my boot time increased up to 3.5 minutes (previously 45-60 sec.)
    And also really anoying usage of the memory it seems that mac all the time doing something and got less than 900mb free only even when all apps are off .

    Something's defnitelly wrong witth a boot time of 3.5 minutes.
    Might be login items.
    System Preferrences > Users & Groups > Login Items  (remove all items listed there)
    Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
    Then restart your Mac.
    If it's not a startup items issue, check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery
    And make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Less can cause the slow startup.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Slower boot time on OSX Lion

    2011 Macbook pro i5- Just recently installed osx lion. My macbook on snow leopard would take 30-35 second to boot completely. Once I updated to Lion it is now 50-55 seconds to boot completely.
    Something that is werid is that there is a blank white screen after I click the power button. It lasts for about 15 seconds and then finally the apple boot logo appears.
    I have selected the right hard drive on startup disks.

    Still fast, but it spoils the fun of that super fast boot time to show your friends.
    Anyone else see this after upgrading to 10.6.5?
    I ran Onyx:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    Ran it and got my speed back. Its doesn't hurt to run Disk Utility and repair permissions and check disk for any errors.
    Fourteen seconds boot time.
