Clean Install - Nothing but problems
Hello,
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and decided to do a clean install afterwards. The install took three days of messing about, trying discs and USB stick method etc. but finally worked only after I disabled the network card in BIOS.
Since the install worked I've been plagued by problems. Here are just a few of them:
i. Windows Update takes 20-25 minutes to scan
ii. Windows Media Player opens but with a white screen and blue scrolling circle forever
iii. On startup I have no network connection for approximately 5 minutes (yellow triangle on network symbol)
iv. Restart can take 10 minutes or more
v. Random software issues (eg Garmin Express gives me splash screen only and hangs)
vi. Sometimes when opening apps, the icon on the taskbar has the line under it indicating it is open but nothing happens - Hovering the cursor on the icon reveals a small black rectangle
vii. iTunes can take minutes to open
This is just a selection of the random problems I'm experiencing. My system specs are :
Motherboard : Asus P8P67
Main hard drive : Intel 120Gb SSD
Any help much appreciated. I've tried safe mode and clean boot but the problems remain.
Many thanks,
Mark
