Optilplex 790 takes 5 minutes to boot XP PRO

Our new Optiplex 790 seems to freeze for about 3 minutes, during boot right after Windows XP PRO logo screen appears. The screen goes black and stay like that for several minutes. After that, he comes back to life and seems to work ok. I tried all the usual stuff with no improvement. We have added 2 NIC cards and deleted the USB, other than that, no angels DRC memory card reader. Any ideas?

Tried all the simple stuff, like nothing helps BIOS settings. The "fix" was to recreate the image the HD Hated to do because it's a pain to reload all the apps and new software license. Never feel good about fixing something that way without knowing/understanding the root cause. Guess I learned how it is important to restore CD.

    First start by going to system-> startup disk preferences and select your startup disk.  Sometimes after an update OS X startup disk becomes unselected for the firmware needs to address each possible boot device, including USB, SD card, DVD, network, etc... and wait before Timeout interface moves the next possible candidate.

    After that, start in safe mode

    If you are looking for a re installation: -.

    Back up your files before you begin reinstalling Windows 7 if possible, even if you have reinstalled Windows 7 on a hard disk partition, and you have personal files on another partition. For example, if you have encrypted files, you will not be able to access them after reinstalling Windows. A custom installation replaces the current version of Windows 7 and all personal files.

  • Why is it so slow Firefox! It takes 10 minutes to load, then 5 minutes to change between different pages. I have version 22, it is getting worse.

    It seems the newer version of Firefox, it gets the slower. What is the BEST version to download to use? This used to be a fast browser, now it takes 10 minutes to load. I did all this mentioned on the historic authorized help page, hides, scanned the computer, deleted Firefox and reinstalled, but it does not work.

    Chrome runs circles around Firefox, it will load in 10 seconds approximately and will work in MANY games better Firefox - using games is totally impossible with Firefox. I need to know which version is the fastest and has the best notes. It looks newer, it gets, the worse it works.

    Help!

    I have the same problem with Firefox 25.0.1. It happened months and I'm tired of it. I can't even watch a video in Firefox - YouTube or something - because it is always too rough. I don't have this problem with Chrome or Opera. And Chrome is lightning fast.

    I won't try Firefox in Mode without failure. Why should I? I will not uninstall other browsers, remove plugins (I don't really have a lot and they work very well in Chrome and Opera), or remove a file called User.js, if I have it. It is a bunch of nonsense. Firefox 25.0.1 works, or is not, without having to do all these things. So, I do not use Firefox any longer.

  • ASPX pages simple 8.5 IIS takes 10 minutes to load

    I'm under IIS8.5 on Windows Server R2 2012 and have 9 websites operational. Some are MVC4, and some are classic ASP. Three of the ASP Web sites running perfectly, however, one of them takes 10 minutes to load. This is a simple web page with a single blow to the database and is very similar to other sites running on the same server ASP that work very well. I have reviewed the IIS and Windows logs and have enabled Failed Request Tracing. In the generated FRT for this page AspNetPageLoadEnter has a timestamp of 16:26:03.598 and AspNetPageLoadLeave has a timestamp of 16:36:08.739. The load event of the page on the page just sets a few variables and makes a call to the database to populate a grid of about 20 to 30 lines. This same database call is used on other pages in other sites so I don't thing is the problem. Each site uses its own application pool, but they are configured identically. Other sites Web ASP load in less than 10 seconds. Anyone has an idea why the load event of the page for this page takes 10 minutes? Could it be a setting in IIS that I'm missing somewhere? I tried to access this page several computers and directly on the server with the same results.

    Here are a few lines of the FRT.

    124 AspNetPageLoadEnter   16:26:03.598
    125 GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName = "Pragma", HeaderValue = "no-cache", Replace = "false". 16:26:03.598
    126 GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName = 'Cache-Control', HeaderValue = "no-cache", private, replace = "false". 16:26:03.598
    127 AspNetPageLoadLeave   16:36:08.739

    I found the problem. Try to connect to a server database that I do not yet have access to caused the delay of 10 minutes.

  • Computer continue to take 30 minutes to get

    My computer is always in 30 minutes, to set up entirely. Then there sometimes 10 seconds hang ups.  I tried all the maintenance techniques that have been proposed (thanks to all), but unfortunately, after two days of work the problem is the same, or worse.
