    My laptop is taking forever to boot!


    I have an Asus gl551jw and every single time I booted the laptop, it took 4 to 10 seconds to boot, nothing to complain, that was really fast since I've never had an gaming laptop before.

    3 months or so later, it started taking a whole minute to boot, I don't remember if it started suddenly but since then it has never changed.


    My laptop is taking forever to boot! 06e2dcc1-f9f1-401b-8445-c393f4c0ec78?upload=true.png As you can see, I don't have many things that may have slowed down the boot drastically, but still, the BIOS boot time was 120 seconds!

    I'm not sure what to do anymore about this, the long boot time really didn't matter to me since I was on vacation, but since I've started school, these 120 seconds have made my life a little worse, and it really starts to annoy me.

    I don't know if this helps but, when I boot it, it stays on the ROG logo for about a minute and 10 seconds and then it appears the loading circle, after the loading circle appears it takes about 5 seconds to boot.


    If you could help me I would be really thankful.

    :)

  2. Laptop won' t shutdown (or restart) and sleep [takes forever]

    The situation:

    • When shutting down, the laptop proceeds as normal until the screen turns off.
    • After the screen turns off, it takes a while for the battery LED to go off.
    • After that the power led remains on and it looks like the laptop is stuck in this state forever.
    • When I try to get my laptop to sleep, something similar happens; the power led remains on, the battery led turns off and the laptop appears to be stuck in this state.
    My laptop is: Asus FX553VD.

    What I've tried:

    • I have tried to troubleshoot power management and power options.
    • Tried clean boot.
    • Updated the BIOS.
    • Reinstalled windows and tried shutdown and sleep (without installing the drivers and stuff), however that didn't work either.

    Additional Info:

    • I have multiple operating systems installed in my laptop, however this problem persists on windows only (the OSes are installed on different drives).
    • The disk usage is abnormally high.
    • There are spikes in CPU usage that kick up the fan really fast while idle.

    Please suggest other ideas as to what I should do?

    [It appears that the only option I have left is to reinstall everything]

    My laptop is taking forever to boot!

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
