Boot up speed slowing down?

Hey guys, 

I'm starting to notice that my boot up speed (windows 7) is alot slower than before. I got the PC around 2-3 months ago, up until about a week ago the time it took to go to the desktop after typing my password took less than a second, but now it takes 5-8 seconds at least... I have Windows (ultimate) installed on a SAMSUNG 840 EVO 128gb SSD, My CPU is the Intel CORE i7 4970K @ 4.4ghz and I have 8gbs of Corsair Vengeance RAM.

 

My thought is it's because my SSD is almost full (2.54gbs left). But I'm no expert so some help would be greatly appreciated :)

The reason is the samsung SSD. Sorry man, you own junk. Sell it if you can and replace it with a kingston.

Samsung SSDs are much faster and more durable than kingston.

Kingston SSDs are actually pretty bad.

It most likely is because your SSD is full.

SSD performance drops when they're nearly full. I forget the reasoning. You can probably Google it.

Yeah it probably is the full SSD.

 

Have you updated the firmware of your SSD / applied the Samsung Performance Restoration Software?

He's the forums new cokeman troll. And he's at it again. 

 

 

 

And OP if it's near full, that's likely the reason. 

And don't listen to him. While I'm personally a crucial customer, you samsung evo is a great product

You need about 25/30% space left on it to keep it running smoothly (so I've heard somewhere)

Your SSD being almost full should be the main cause, but you can try disabling some startup programs in "msconfig.exe", disable or set to manual some safe services that delay the start in "services.msc" and disable some 3rd party scheduled stuff in "tasksch.msc".

cool! thanks!

Yes, like the others said, create a 20GB partition and keep it empty, that is what i did and it worked.

Also run Glary Utilites to clean up your registry, and delete junk/temporary files off ur SSD. Then run Disk Cleanup (windows) to clean up windows update backup files. 

Hope that helps

And yes, Kingston sucks
