During startup and shutdown (especially shutdown), I'm experiencing a whole
lot of slowness. I think I've traced down why, but don't understand the
technical behind the errors. Here's what I'm seeing:

Is it just me or does it appear as though the system is having issues with
standby or hibernation? The interesting part of this whole thing is that I've
never initiated a standby or hibernation process...only simple startups and
shutdowns. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thank you.

I know that the silence is disheartening. I haven't replicated your
problem and I'm not trying to start another AMD/Intel dispute with what I'm
recommending. For testing purposes remove one or two sticks of ram. If the
problem is gone the cause is a conflict between the motherboard, bios and
processor when all 4 ram slots are populated. Another possibility is if your
system came with an AV program and you installed a different AV program
without fully removing all of the original program first. Have a great day.

First off, I want to thank you for your response, Dennis.

AMD/Intel dispute? Huh? Are you running an AMD? My notebook is an
Intel-based system. Removing each one of the DIMMs and running the system on
each one resulted in no differences...still have the lag at startup and
shutdown. In addition, this system did not come pre-installed with an AV
solution and it is a clean install of Win7Entx64, with only the basics
installed.

Any other suggestions out there in never-never land? At this point, I'm
ready to give up and move backward as I've experienced no issues running a
32-bit platform. Thanks again.
