I hope this is in the right section.
I've had my laptop for 1.5 years (Compaq CQ50 110US).
Microprocessor 2.00 GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-70 Dual-Core Mobile Processor
Microprocessor Cache 1 MB L2 Cache
Memory 3072 MB
Video Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8200M
OS: Windows 7 64bit
When I boot up the computer, it goes through the BIOS fine and then it goes to the windows logo where it flashes in and out. on my computer it hangs here for around 5 or so minutes before I get to the login screen. Once I reach the login screen, the computer loads the desktop and all of my startup programs fairly quickly.
This is very irritating and I don't know how to diagnose it. I have updated the BIOS, installed new video card drivers from nvidia.com numerous times (with different versions), scanned for malware, defragged my drive, blew out the dust out of my fan. and I had a similar hanging problem on XP which prompted me to format and install win7. I don't THINK it's software related, though i re-downloaded 64 bit versions and installed similar programs that i was using on XP.
Occasionally my computer completely hangs and requires a restart when I'm opening a video file. I've noticed whenever I have Jdownloader (a java app) running and attempt to load a video file i seem to freeze frequently, but I've also frozen without it running. I don't know if this is related to the first problem
What advice do you guys have for me? Thanks!
