I'm getting odd delays where windows just sits there doing absolutely nothing during bootup, and then it continues as if nothing happens. It's somewhere after the Win7 logo morphing into place, but before the video driver kicks in, so I have to sit there listening to my GPU fans going full belt as well during this whole time.
I checked the event log, and it reports these delays as event ID 100 startup errors, but from what I can tell from all the cryptic shit windows puts into that log, it doesn't actually ever state WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED IT. I tried submitting a few events the Great Satan of software, and the response was a big fat nothing.
Is there some way to force Win7 to make a printout of the files it's running as it boots up instead of those four colored spheres (other than forcing safe mode, coz the error never seems to happen there).
This is rather infuriating as I use an Intel SLC SSD as system drive, and bootup times are otherwise lightning quick when this error doesn't occur...
