ReBoot Time

[Britton30]

No not trying to make you feel bad, just suggesting maybe you need 2 nividis cards. All in good humor. No offence intended.

I know Steve, I meant it in good humor.

6 GB Ram
Toshiba 5400 rpm
7x64 Home Premium



Just tweaked the start up a bit....dropped a few seconds. Wish I had an SSD, but am overall pleased with a stock Dell laptop,( minus the bloatware of coarse ) A big thank you to all of you who help people like me make our computers better.

This is an SSD held back by mechanical hard drives and only minimal pruning of startup items.

Is your bios set to ahci? Mechanical hard drives shouldn't hold you back like that.

This test will check the speed of the drive you have your OS on.

If you have a normal OS setup on the SSD, then the HDDs won't affect the ReBoot time.

What Dave said is true. Restart time only has to do with the SSD. Here's my best restart time. Done with a 500GB Data drive and 2 1TB drives for backup and storage. The OS is on an Intel X25M.

Mine in 52 seconds
and old NC6400
Win7

i dont have the software to calculate it, but the post catch my attention and since i already have saved that time for routine maintenance purpose. That time was measured from bios untill windows shows me the desktop and antivirus is active, meaning that i stop the count when the HDD led activity stop blinking, and i guess that even when my password is short, but should be 2 or 3 seconeds faster if i remove it.

 

[essenbe]

That's good. If you want the software go to this tutorial download it from there.

 

[kharl]

great!, thanks!

It's just a small app that doesn't install itself to your computer. It measures shutdown, post and startup.

New setup does it in 10 seconds less.

Used to be 30 sec, it takes 15 sec now just to shut down, well whatever.
