And certainly uninstall it if you disable the iSSD.Ģ) If you are running in UEFI mode and the iSSD is still MBR. Make sure to uninstall it in Win10 (or don't install it in the first place). There are two other possibilities, still relating to the iSSD:ġ) You have ExpressCache software installed, which doesn't work with Win10 (to my understanding). Definitely disable the iSSD in Device Manager and pray that it doesn't worsen, since the only fix is replacing the motherboard. See the most recent discussion starting here. We've had many discussions about that in the Samsung forum. Read here if you are not 100% clear on that subject.Ĭlick to expand.That is the most likely the culprit: It sounds like your iSSD (the 8GB drive) has become defective, which can cause long boot delays. On your model (and all 2012 models and earlier) I would recommend you install Windows in legacy BIOS mode as opposed to UEFI mode. If you absolutely have to install from USB, you can use one of the workarounds in posts #1 and #2 of this thread.Īccording to reports here, Win10's installer does not make that mistake, so you can install Win10 from USB without falling through that iSSD trapdoor. That's another common mistake, specific to models with ExpressCache. Otherwise you will run into the issue of Windows Setup placing its boot partition on the small iSSD used for ExpressCache - which is not bootable.
When you install Win8, make sure you install from DVD, NOT from a USB flash drive. The fact that Windows boots is a sign that your installation matches your UEFI settings - otherwise a common mistake. Of course I hope this is not the case and there is some soft reason. My best guess is that some other component on the motherboard was damaged in the fall, and the delay during boot is from either BIOS or Windows waiting for a device that doesn't respond - and eventually times out. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.Sorry to hear about your accident. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
