View Full Version : Intermittent failure to boot after HP upgrade to 7 64 bit

Since doing the upgrade every few days my system fails to boot and I
have to go through the auto repair function. Usually it ends in a
message asking me if I want to use system restore. Sometimes it works
and other times I just shut down and restart. Has anyone else out there
had this problem? If so have you found a cause?

Also, I find 7 to be insanely slow to boot, VistaX64 was much faster and
I never had startup problems. Thanks for any suggestions.

I found Win 7 slow like a constipated snail but each time faster to
start up. About the 6th reboot it became noticiably faster. Shutdown
was fast compared to Vista.

But disk to disk copy and network copy of large files like vido files,
pig slow even comapared to Vista.

So I went back to Vista after the gadgets on the panel messed up good,
overlaping each others and the clock looked diced up. Win 7 needs a
service pack to four before it is ready.

Mine was a clean install, so it wasn't the old drivers and the like.

Have you looked at your start-up items to see if you can remove/disable any ?
