Hello people. I'm currently experiencing slow shutdown with Windows 7 (up to 30 seconds).
I've been looking for causes and solutions for the past week and this is driving me nuts. Hopefully someone can lend me a hand.
Here is the build.
Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme
CPU: Intel Core i7 950
Ram: Patriot Viper II Sector 7 Series DDR3 6GB (3 x 2GB) PC3-12800 Low Latency Kit (XMP enabled, running at 1600MHz)
Hard Drive for OS: Mushkin Callisto Deluxe SSD, 60GB
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
This is a fresh Windows 7 64 bit install on a new computer, with minimal programs installed. The start up is blazing fast with the SSD, from bios post to browsing in 8 seconds, but shutting down the computer is the exact opposite. If I shutdown the computer right away after I've logged into windows, then everything is good and the process only takes 2-3 seconds. However, if I start browsing, playings games, etc. and then shutdown the computer, the process takes up to 20-30 seconds.
More info:
- ATTO shows my SSD is running good with its read/write specs.
- Memtest+ v4.1 shows RAM is running good.
- The registry value of "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" is at 0.
- The registry value of "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" is at default 12000.
- I tried the exact same build on another motherboard before I returned it to the store, Gigabyte's GA-X58A-UD3R, and had the exact same slow shutdown problem.
- The SSD is connected to one of the ICH10R SATA slots in AHCI, Intel RST v10.0.0.1046 installed.
- Rebuilt my old computer with fresh a Windows 7 install, (E8400 CPU, 780i motherboard, 7200 rpm HD) did not have this slow shutdown issue at all, nor did I ever had it anyways.
The reason I haven't changed the registry value of "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" to 2000, is because that I doubt it will work, and even if it worked, I still don't know what the cause is. I really want to find out the true cause and fix it the "right" way, especially when my old computer doesn't have this problem at all.
Any ideas, suggestions?
