inohome Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 A few days ago, my Force GT 120GB became slower than my hard drive. It does everything slower and takes about 15-20 seconds in the Starting Windows screen. Before that, it takes about 7-8 seconds only and I never disable any services and startup items in msconfig. But for now, it became slower, so I disable any unwanted services and programs in msconfig, still the same. I download a newer firmware for my SSD, still the same! Please help me, it runs slower than my hard drive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Run a ATTO benchmark and post a screenshot. Have you tried a different SATA data cable and motherboard port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inohome Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Nope didn't try plugging into another SATA port but how come the SATA port can make it became slower as I never did any settings to it? Anyway, downloaded ATTO. Will post the result when I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inohome Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I tried plugging into 5 different SATA ports, my board has just 1 SATA controller by the way. I also set the speed to SATA 6.0Gbps instead of Auto. I set my SATA ports to IDE, same, so I set back to AHCI. Everything is still the same. However, according to the ATTO benchmark, I don't think it is the problem of the SSD, but the problem of the drivers or Windows files causing the startup to slow down. I still hope you all can help me through this forum because nobody can solve my problem although I already posted in some forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Did you update Windows before the the SSD started slowing down? Have you tried turning off all non-Microsoft programs and services in msconfig? Does the boot speed change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inohome Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 There aren't any windows update that time. Although there are, I've already tried system restore and nothing changed, so I undid it. Nope, still the same. This makes me think that it isn't the problem of the SSD as it can run startup services without slowing it down, it maybe the problem of Windows.

Toasted Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 In MSCONFIG>Boot>Tick "OS Boot information". This should display the drivers being loaded instead of the Starting Windows screen. It may help diagnose which driver is causing the slow down. This is usually a last resort, you can secure erase the drive and reinstall Windows.

inohome Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hmm... Ok will try that one. But today, it takes 13 seconds on the Starting Windows which is creepy. I try restarting several times and yeah, it's 13 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
