ReBoot Time

[pparks1]

Hopefully Rickss69 will give us some input on what he has done. We'd love to know.

 

[rickss69]

I'm at work atm...I'll get back and provide some specifics later.

Ok - So far this is what I have done:

Install OS with Sata configured to AHCI for ssd

Using on-chip graphics sliced a second off vs a video card

Fresh OS install with no video/sound drivers installed

msconfig - kill startup/services...no GUIboot

Fresh install of Win 7 64 - Unable to get it any faster than this so far.

Installed OS with Sata configured as AHCI for ssd

Enabled quick boot in bios

Discarded video card and used on-chip graphics

No video/sound drivers loaded

msconfig - no GUIboot...startup/services disabled

Even then, this must be in the record books.

That's one fast machine.

EUFI or BIOS?

Using bios for the desktop machine.

Here is my Toshiba laptop...

Qosmio X505-Q892
500GB hdd

I agree.... I was rather disappointed with my restart time on my new build of 12/12/10

It does 17 seconds in a normal boot...

57 seconds. Yay , thanks for the program. The longest part of my reboot is my 30 second (guess) shutdown time, grrrrrr

Intel i7-930 4Ghz 1.23V / Corsair H-70 push/pull
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev2.0

Edit
Went into msconfig changed in advanced boot options from 1 core to 4

I'm rather disappointed with my results....ah well, I don't really notice the slow speed, and I've done everything I can to speed it up.

System specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
Intel Core2Duo @ 1.3GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD (75GB OS partition, 157GB Data partition)
Intel GMA4500MHD integrated graphics ()

Heres Mine though for some reason after the animation as windows boots it stays there wobbling for 20 seconds and I cant figure how to stop that

Any Idea's

 

[sreedhav]

I am right on the heels of davehc! His was 69 secs(first page) and mine is One second behind him--->70 seconds!

 

[ignatzatsonic]

I am now at 78 seconds with Windows 7 SP 1, compared to 70 seconds without SP 1. This is with a very fast processor and a fast spinning drive.

Up 8 seconds, I assume for a good reason. Not sure what it is.

For some of you with long shutdown times you might want to look into turning off the option of wiping paging file upon shutdown.

After much trial & tribulation and no improvement in my reboot times (was taking at least 75-95 secs, I posted a few times in this thread) I decided to do a fresh "factory" re-install using the built in OEM recovery option. After de-CRAPifying, updating, & re-installing my personal stuff from various media, this also primed my computer for installing SP1 (which I did, took me only 1 hour) Long story made short here's my most recent reboot (55 secs, a DRASTIC improvement)

Appartently when I bought the laptop, I BORKED something in the setup and it was making me CRAZY that I could not figure what it was that was "broken".

Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut!
