It takes my computer three and a half minutes to boot up, what is causing this problem?

Could be several things. Dying hard drive, hard drive in general, or slow ram. To fix this best to get a samsung ssd for your OS. Since you're using an APU its best to go with a fast ram, remember 1600mhz is tge standard. Best of luck and I love I have helped you with your problem

The most obvious answer is your hard drive. However, there are lots of possible answers, which could be memory, or even software/malware on the PC. May be worth while to check your logs (Start-->Run-->eventvwr.msc) to see if there are errors coming up during boot.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

I did that but the led light has flashed blue/purple for more than 20 minutes - how long does it take the initialization to finish?

Maybe one of the memory modules is bad. Remove both modules (slot A under keyboard and slot b on the bottom of the laptop), and install each module, one at a time in slot A (under keyboard) and verify that the BIOS recognizes the memory and the system boots.

Using a Biostar ta890fxe with win 7. I am NOT getting the boot times others are but I'm pretty sure it's mostly win7 and I dont have it set up right other than that no problem

There is not really a whole lot you can do my suggestion would be change the MB,if that is not the case then maybe try considering changing back to the case the MB came out of least it had the proper wiring to connect to the Motherboard for the case,I hope these helped.

I bought a Samsung ssd 256GB and cloned the drive with the included software. Works great. Just estimating the boot time before and after by counting in my head, before it took say 40 seconds from when I saw the first bios splash screen, and after putting in the ssd it takes 6 seconds to boot.

Your computer, but it likes to freeze up the software when it isn't taking ages to load.

Just install a SSD drive, then there will be no lag time, as SSD drives do not have to spin up!

I'e checked it can be formatted to be bootable. Ubuntu boots in less a minute. I think it was reformatted by me about 100 times for testing speed with different fs, I don't see any lost space.

Yes.. but i wouldn't buy this unit, unless you don't mind waiting over a minute for it to boot up and turn on.

Were you turning it on or resuming from sleep mode? Resuming from sleep mode takes three seconds.

Overheating is a common reason for system shutdowns. It is weird that it would stay down for 3 hours though.Monitor the temperature for some time while using the machine. I believe the mobo came with a program for that. If you don't have it you can find such programs online.If you notice it getting hot you could try replacing the default cooling fan and heat sync with a more robust one.I usually like to have my pc setup so it runs around 40°C for normal use and does not cross 70°C when really pushing heavy programs (battlefield 3 or 4)

I've never had that happen to me I think.... I'm sorry I'm not much help all I could suggest is doing a recovery but if it's like in a mode similar to safe mode there must be away to switch out... Maybe on start up try f12 see all the boot options.

The power supply in your machine could be problematic. You should research that issue!

Holy Crap! It takes an HOUR or more??? I have a 750GB HD that is probably two thirds full, and when I connect it, it takes like a MINUTE, maybe TWO!!! Sounds like you have a crappy drive, or some other problem!

There is no warm up time. Monitor comes on as soon as power button is pushed.
