ReBoot Time

18 seconds, wow. My old XP PC took like 3 1/2 minutes to be usable. Gotta love 7 and SSD's

I think it's too slow.Any tips?

You can install a SSD.

Type msconfig in the search, Startup tab, see what is starting with w7. The really necessary one is your security program.

I recently got a new CPU and Motherboard and now have it running pretty well.

This is on a Vertex 4 with all programs running at startup:)

I duff my hat sir.
That is one helluva reboot.

Thank you kind sir:)

Sorry Bill, I missed your post, yeah 18 seconds to me is "wow" too!

I am on my other PC right now, in the lounge, I ran the restart test on that and it took 99 seconds, it seemed like forever lol.

On my previous set up (2600K and Asus P67 Evo) the restart time with the same SSD was 35 seconds, the new board takes considerably less time to post and that appears to be the biggest factor in the 18 second time.

My 7 rig takes 46 seconds, and that's plenty fast for my "old" hardware. Lol. A Guy
