Bizzare T500 boot behavior
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 5:35 pm
My T500 has some kind of very odd booting behavior. The boot seems to start normally with the Levono bios and Win 10 splash screens displaying briefly. The display then goes blank followed by prolonged and constant disk activity. During this time it's unresponsive. Eventually (say, after 10 minutes) the disk activity stops and the device goes into sleep mode. When awakened [Fn(F4)] it seems ok.
Chkdsk, etc etc reveals nothing. I thought it might be a failing drive so I cloned the HD onto another drive but it does the same thing. This particular machine is a spare and hasn't been used much. It was recently upgraded to Win10 from Win7, which went fine, though I recall with win7 the boot was still very slow and there was prolonged and excessive disk activity.
I'm stumped, not sure where to go next. Ideas welcome!
