Hi Petrusw.

I hope for you those 289 are seconds (almost 5 minutes) and not minutes (almost 5 hours)!

Your screenshot is not visible, could you re-send it?

Or try these operations:

 

1) If the warranty has expired, you could try to open your PC (first unplug it from the mains...!) with a lot of caution and, gently, remove the dust with a brush and vacuum cleaner (or hair dryer) and apply the thermal paste to the processor.

2) Open an elevated command prompt and type:

cleanmgr /sageset:1 

Press enter, tick every option (or the options that you prefer) inside cleanmgr advanced menu, click ok, then type this:

cleanmgr /sagerun:1

Press enter and wait until it finishes.

3) Download adwcleaner portable (click) and run it.

4) Download wise care 365 portable (click), extract it and put it on your desired/preferred folder.

5) Create a system restore point (or let it create by WiseCare, it should ask it to you the first time you run it)

6) Double left-click wisecare365.exe, click (top right corner) custom --> settings --> custom checkup, select/tick all entries (or the entries that you prefer), click save, click checkup, wait until the scan finishes, click fix.

7) Click the third tab at top: system tuneup

On the left, click the fourth tab: startup manager

Remove unnecessary items (keep enabled antivirus and processor items)

8) Launch sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt (and report the result here, after it finished)

9) Defrag your hard disks (it may take hours... Try first the OS partition only).

If you often get BSODs, skip this.

 

 

Looking forward for your kind feedback!
