Extremely slow boot up with SSD! DESPERATE!

[athlonaces]

Have been trying my best to solve this issue for the past week.

Recently got my friend to help me set up my rig, specs are as listed:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Vapor X 3GB OC
RAM: 8GB
Mobo: Asrock H87m Pro4
SSD: Samsung Evo 120
HDD: 1TB Seagate

Trim is enabled and AHCI enabled during installation.


Issue:
Boot up was fine when the rig first arrived. After installing the drivers and BF4, boot slowed down to 20 over secs and now it takes 48 secs on average (by Bootracer) to boot up. This is with my OS installed on SSD.

Did many troubleshooting and with Event View, managed to lock on to high smssinit time taken. Moved on to zooming in to my graphics driver, and I realized that if I uninstall my graphics driver (with safe mode and driver sweeper), which includes the microsoft auto install standard vga adapter driver btw, and attempt to reboot, my system will boot up in 10 seconds.

If I install the AMD driver (beta or non beta tested), it'll take up to 48 seconds on average.


If anyone is interested, here's the XML of my bootup event view

Help please! I am getting really desperate.!

Well, it would be somewhat normal to have a longer bootup with more device drivers installed, especially the CCC package. And it would make a difference if there were a lot of third party TSRs starting at bootup. Do you have a lot of items running in your tasbar Tray? How about the number of boxes checked in system configuration/start up? Are you connected to a network HDD that will take time to awaken? Try running CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry both.

You might want to run a SSD benchmark pgm like this one: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/AS-SSD-Benchmark.shtml
I can compare mine with yours if you want?

Your problem is with your R9 280X drivers, not your SSD.

As you know the R9 is a new graphics card. Hopefully future driver updates will reduce your boot time.
