| Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1 | New graphics card in but having a problem. Hi to all. I bought a new Graphics card on the advie of some great people on this forum. I bought a Asus HD4670 and a new psu. I have put them in the case and all is well. The only problem i have is when i start the PC it will stay on the Windows Vista Startup screen for about 5 mins then finally it will boot up. Does anyone have any idea why this is now happening and how i may be able to cure it? Thanks. Rossy87. P.S. It was starting fine before the new graphics card went in. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1 | Re: New graphics card in but having a problem. Hi. Yes all pins are connected from the psu. And i have installed the drivers that came with the card so far, and downloaded DirectX 10. Should i update the drivers then? If so where is the best place i can get them from? Thanks. Rossy87 |

If its still slow after you install CCC you can do this 1 - Update DirectX 2- Go into windows defender and delete the CCC startup entry plus anything else you want 3- Go to the start orb and type prefetch into the search bar and hit enter. Delete all the files in the prefetch folder 4 - Right click your desktop and create a new shortcut. In the location box paste this in C:\Windows\System32\Defrag.exe -b %SystemDrive% 5 - Once the shortcuts created double click on it and allow it to run then reboot your pc. |
