Vista Startup problems
Shane:
If it pulls the smart status then yes, otherwise if the drive is a seagate or western digital, they have tools for free that can read the smart status of the drive.

Have just pulled down latest version of Speccy. It shows C Drive as status good and temp 35c as good. I have an attached self powered usb drive which show temp as bad at 59c. On one of the tests I removed all ext drives and the printer prior to the first initial startup of the day and the computer exhibited the same problems as when all peripherals were connected.
Xas1953NC:
One of the repair logs states
Root cause found: Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.
Shane:
Yeah but the smart data off of a drive will show what its internal stats say, including spin up times, bad sectors and any other problems.
What hard drive do you have?
Shane
Xas1953NC:
Do not have a program to show spinup times. These are the C, D,S Drives in tower. Data from Speccy profiler.
