abnormal boot up time

[takuro1103]

hi every, i have just found that my windows 7 ultimate start up time too long, i have already turn off some start up program and some services on MSconfig, but start up time still start the same, i check the reboot time and it takes 19X sec! and, i found that when start up PC, after theGUI boot screen, there are about 1X seconds of black screen with mouse pointer(i can move the mouse) before the windows login screen, can any tell that whether it is normal or not? thx~
for more details of my start up, please find my print screen of MSconfig set up.

The most immediate cause that comes to mind is A/V software. What are you using? Try switching to a different one, like Microsoft Security Essentials.

You can reboot in 19 seconds and that is too slow?

Uncheck all of the 13 checked items in the startup tab and see how quick you can boot.

 

[Jonathan_King]

Holy cow, only 19 seconds? I did not read your post very carefully. 19s is extremely fast.

Changing the number of processors to speed up boot times is a fallacy. If you changed the number, you were wrong to do so.
As for the mouse showing briefly, my GFs lappy does the same thing and it's good as gold, i think it may have something to do with the graphics card???

msconfig entries can nearly always all be disabled. Things that you can live with starting manually, do so. I'm sure you don't use your 360 accessories every time you turn on your PC, so, turn it off......you get the picture
I think you should change the title of the thread, to "abnormally quick boot up time"

Also, what's with the 2 scroll bars?????? Now that's abnormal!

sorry guys, my reboot time is 19X sec, which is between 190-199 sec, i can't reallt remember how long it is so i just stated as 19x sec...

Definitely check out your security system. I recommend MSE.

thx everyone, i'm using NOD32 as my security SW, is it good on win 7??

 

[ignatzatsonic]

NOD is effective, but I am not sure of its effect on boot speed.

Uncheck it in msconfig and see if you speed up.

NOD32 is good but their eset smart security is better. It is both nod32 plus good firewall

You could also increase your boot speed by going into BIOS and changing the boot order to boot to hard disk first.

 

[takuro1103]

ok, just before i have tried the following:-

turn off NOD32, 360 accessories, and Messenger - reboot time 190 sec, seems just few sec imporved
turn off everything - reboot time 146 sec, just 44 sec improved, still slow...

are there any things else that caused slow reboot time??

sorry i just forgot to state out my PC config
CPU AMD Phenom II 945
4 GB corsair Ram DDR running at 1333
Display crad HIS 5770
with 3 hardisk (SATA II) & a DVD ROM
and one TV Card
Power supply is Corsair 650 watt

and for the boot pirority, i have already choose my OS Hardisk as my first boot, and plug & play OS is enable on my bios as well...

Do you have to login too (are you including the login time)?

it login automaticely and yes, the reboot time including login time, i just use the following to count the reboot time

140 seconds isn't abnormal, in fact, i bet if you calculated the mean reboot time from this very thread, it'd be around what you are getting. (107 seconds just from first page)
Apart from watching what starts up automatically, there's not an awful lot more you can do improve on it.

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Do a cold boot, go immediately to task manager, and take a screen shot of processes, with "show processes for all users" checked.

I have 36 processes running right now and boot in about 50 seconds. I have 4 items checked in msconfig.

 

[takuro1103]

thx, but how come somebody can get less than 100 sec, or even 6x sec for the reboot time?? are they just test it straight after clean install?? confusing me....

A combination of good hardware (especially hard drive) and few programs to load.

You can untick realtek HD Audio Control Panel, AT Catalyst Control Centre, TMMonitor and Powerreg. None of them are necessary. Also untick one of the two duplicated Logitech SetPoint entries.
