ReBoot Time

normal restart

Just installed a new HDD with a clean copy of win 7 x64 and all my normal programs. Office 2007, itunes and avast.

Clean install, nothing disabled. I have a question. My friend downloaded the app and although her computers boot time is 50 seconds it shows 86 seconds. Any ideas why? Thanks

Gaming PC (3.8Ghz overclocked Intel C2D E8500, 2gig RAM, nVidia 9800GT graphics):




Asus EEE PC Netbook (puny Atom 1.6Ghz processor, only 1gig RAM, crappy integrated Intel gfx, slow hard drive):





Go figure.

To be fair, the netbook is not running any resident A/V (I just run ClamWin on-demand whenever I download something) and also has the superfast BIOS that starts loading Win7 within 1 sec of pressing the power button.

Anyone help me with why my boot is so slow? (re-start time of 69 sec)

I've been getting Event ID 100 warnings every time I turn on my computer since I built it 3 weeks ago. I installed an older IDE DVD burner drive a little over a week ago, but that severly slowed my boot time and I was getting Criticall Errors, so I removed it (my re-start time was 143 with that drive).

I've spent ALOT of time researching this problem, and can't quite seem to solve it. My computer should be dang fast (WEI score 7.5):

i7 920, 2.66Ghz (no OC)
6 GB DDR3 OCZ Platinum
120GB OCZ Vertex SSD
Asus P6t Deluxe V2
Win 7 64bit

Disable Asus Express Gate from the BIOS.

And make sure you have your HDD 1st in Boot Order.

i have 67 seconds

i have 62 seconds that is without disabling any start up programs

What's this restarting thing? Isn't that for Windows XP users?

I'm probably jinxing myself here, but it seems to me that Windows 7 has been as stable as Ubuntu so far on my desktop (6 days 20 hours so far - I used to do 3-4 months with Ubuntu) so I probably will only be rebooting for important kernel updates.

I'll post back in 3 months.
