Since i changed MB and some other stuff in my HTPC, it became really slow to shut down or set in standby...


Anyone got any advice to speed this up??

    Did you reinstall XP after you changed components onto a cleanly formatted drive.

    If not you may have some leftovers from the previous hardware, which are causing the problem.

    All windows updates installed ok, this i have taken for granted.

    virus checker can be diabled, to prove that is not giving a problem as with any anti-spyware.

    So with little or no extra software installed, shutdown time is xx seconds.

    The only other thing is drivers, again this is to eliminate what may seem obvious Device manager does not show any problems (have had M$ install driver for my DFI nvidia based motherboard that was incorrect) make sure drivers are the ones installed from the motherboard CD or DFI internet updated ones.

    If your memory modules are 2 x 512mb, try swapping them, or removing one at a time to see if any difference found.

    The problem always used to be blamed on M$, especially windows 98SE, but not seen it since, only on some badly written software that refused to shut down, but that was third party.

    Does sound more a driver issue if it occurs with only XP and drivers installed.

    i use pretty much the same install on another htpc, based on a asus barebone... There it works like a dream... I´ll try to swap the memories...

    Latest drivers for everything! But i´ll probably have to try older drivers...

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

    Well, all that remains is to find someone who will add this render if it is a render.
