Hello friends,

Lately I have been experiencing a very slow shut-down and start-up time, roughly about 3 minutes.

Ok, my system is an AMD 2.6 duel core, 2 gig ram, SLI, 550 WATT power supply, water-cooled system with on board fan speed control running about 4 fans. I am running Windows XP Pro.

I used C-Cleaner, Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper but neither has made my system any faster in start-up, and I am running CA Virus Security Suite software. Only firewall running is through Windows XP.

I don't have anything running in the background that I know of to slow this start-up down and shut-down so I was wondering, with the system only being 1 year old, could the processor be going bad?


Any advice as always would be greatly appreciated.
