Hi guys,

Please help me figure out why my HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF became slow. I reinstalled Windows, even reflushed UEFI, but the PC is still a way slower than before. For example, it takes 2-3 minutes from the HP logo until Windows Desktop when it boots up. Can you tell me please what might be the reason? Thanks.

Best,
Aul

I got the PC cleaned from dust. No help. Something wrong with the SSD?

I had something similar with an old HP prebuilt workstation. It was due to something called surestart that scans the BIOS to make sure that it is not corrupted or otherwise unable to boot. this made my old PC take over a minute to boot with an SSD. I am not sure if your PC has HP Surestart, but that's what happened with mine.

Could it be the PSU

That would be cool if what Order 66 said fixes you. Let us know if not next step.

Do you have a spare power supply to test like you said. Windows is a real nit picker if it senses power supply issues.

I know it easy for us on our side to say try this or try that , slap in another power supply , flip out memory for another set were we have shelfs and shelfs of spare parts.

But having all the tools in the world to fix what ever happens still does nothing if you get a flat and all you have in the trunk is a screwdriver.

Hopefully we can get you fixed fingers crossed.

I really appreciate your understanding and everyone's efforts to help. Unfortunately, I don't see SureStart anywhere and I don't have an extra PSU. Can we eliminate the SSD or is there another way to test it?
