Aspire 5536 Boot Problem Win7

Hi guys,

I have a brand new Acer Aspire 5536. It came pre-installed with Vista which I have repalced with Windows 7. I did a clean install, first formatting the hard drive.

The boot process takes 7-10 minutes before the login screen appears. Once logged in the sysrtem appears to be working fine. I have re-instaslled multiple times (using different disks) but no matter what I try it takes an age to boot.

Could my laptop be faulty - does anyone else have Win7 running on one these?

Thanks in advance,

Rob.

 

I have the 5536 also, got it in September, but I let it do the upgrade shuffle and after all was said and done it's running fine. Well, it seemed to actually go to sleep after my WHS backups in the middle of the night for a couple days, but now it's back to being awake in the morning. And some strange error I have to check out also I saw in the event log this morning.

Definitely no 10 minute boots though!

 

Thanks for the reply. Are you also running Win7? If so which version 32 or 64 bit. i'm really starting to pull my hair and beginning to wonder if the hardware is at fault!

 

I hate to suggest this but as a last resort try to flash your bios to the new version they have on their page. www.support.acer.com

 

Thanks - I did already try that. I am now awaiting a reply from Acer's support.

 

Did you by chance send them an email? If so, im sorry to say, youll probably get the circular logic and copy paste answers and more frustration! lol that is just my experience with their email support. Calling them seems to be painfully more beneficial and getting things done, even then you might have some pains.

 

I tihnk I am going to return the laptop. XP doe sthe same - around 10 minutes to boot. Clearly somethin is at fault.
