When I boot up, this is what it does:

1. Enters the 'ASUS Inspiring Innovation . Persistent Perfection' thing, takes about 3 seconds (normal).
2. Starts up with the windows logo (takes 50~60 secs) Normal.

This is where it begins to be abnormal.

3.(I) Black screen for 5 seconds unusual
(II) Cursor comes up after five seconds of black screen unusual
(III) Cursor with little circle (showing busy) after. unusual
(IV) Back to White cursor unusual
(V) Blue-ish circle (indicating not responsive) unusual

4. Finally, back to normal, start screen and usual routine of course! normal.

What power supply - make and model - is in it?

 

[che0063]

What has power supply got to do with it may I ask? ASUS X43B with 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.
Power Supply I think is 15W
System Model is K43BR
System Manufacturer is ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

 

[i7Baby]

15W I think not. Is this a laptop? What model? If the Power Supply is overvolting then it'll do the CPU harm and you'll get these sort of problems.

Have you made anychaneges lately? new software, played with the bios/settings. How old is it?

 

[che0063]

I am on a laptop. What do you mean what model? Battery model? I do not think it is overvolting.
I have not made any changes. It started 2 months ago, before the boot up time from start to desktop took only 50 seconds without SSD. suddenly, it is to a shocking 100~150 seconds! Its all because of that black screen! I... Words fail me! Its just so maddening! It hangs on the screen for a shockingly, hopelessly, appalingly, disgracefully, indecently, disturbingly, terribly, dismally, whopping 40 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I hope those synonyms tell you how maddening it is!)

No new software, and no, I'm too scared to play with the BIOS settings. My laptop is having its first birthday today.

I'll tell you my laptop battery model:

Li-ion Battery Pack A32-K53
Rating:+10.8 Volts 5200mah, 56Wh
X43EE218BR-SL/82NDBXIB

 

[che0063]

And no, I refuse to to buy a new laptop or buy a SSD

 

[che0063]

And yes, I've been to at least 10 websites to see which services to set to manual.

 

[che0063]

Also I've defragmented my hard drive.

 

[i7Baby]

What brand and model laptop? how old?

 

[che0063]

Grumble! MY LAPTOP IS 1 YEAR OLD! I TOLD YOU THAT!

AS I SAID: ASUS BRAND
Laptop model: X43B
System Model: K43BR

My goodness gracious me! I hope we are not going to go on like this until Christmas!

 

[i7Baby]

No you didn't. And you haven't really told me the model number either.

[che0063]
