I reboot my machine every 5 days or unless an update has to be installed.

Nice... Looks like a pretty solid setup. Little bit more RAM and a nice GPU and you'll have a pretty sweet computer.

Thanks

I don't what it is and don't know how I can (or if I can) fix it but for some reason my PC shuts down really quickly but when it boots up, I hear the "beep" then my screen goes into standby for maybe 2 secs, then it displays "no signal" for maybe 5 secs before it posts. Not good...

update: I tweaked my RAM and now everything flys! I got a 23 sec boot time but deleted the snip I took by mistake.

About 52 secs to desktop complete.

I didnt change anything or use any tricks. Here are my results. You might wanna take another 2 secs off from this time because I had to enter my password at windows startup
My time: 76 secs

My average is down to about 35 now I've installed some new programs etc (as above). I'm very happy

Finally found the services and programs that were slowing me down.

A little more tweaking and I'll be down to tw33k's range

No tweaking specifically for this test. Just an air cooled [email protected] with good ram, a good lp case and a vertex w/ f/w 1.5. Cheap, old and fast.

Just double reboot to clean out the update crud. No tweaking....

so if running in AHCI adds about 6/8 seconds, for post ect. and say i use IDE, then i should get a Time that is somthing silly in Bootracer? i mean right now in AHCI its 13 seconds, when i reboot (every 5 days lol)

hmm worth a try no?

Well, I got some time today to work on my computer. I updated my Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev 1.1 BIOS from F9 to F12. I then set it to use AHCI. My delay dropped with this BIOS upgrade from 8 seconds to 2 seconds...plus there is now an option in this BIOS for a faster boot which I enabled.

I ran reboot racer and got the following now on my box...so things are a bit quicker than they were. I've done no tweaking. This is with everything on per a standard Windows 7 install.

 

[not so gray matter]

Approximately 50 seconds. I can't post a screenshot because BootRacer never finished :huh:

I took 5 seconds off my time because that's about the amount of time it takes for my keyboard and mouse to be detected through my usb hub. No idea why that happens, but oh well. I'm not too worried that it takes so long either because I'm on a MBP.

 

[kurahk7]

my restart time with some management of my startup programs, no service tweak or anything else

 

[antharr]

I can't say that I can complain.

 

[fkhan]

This is my boot time on my Samsung N210, 2GB RAM.

20 Seconds After BIOS Hand Off

20 seconds after BIOS hand off and that is after a clean install and software installation. I have a one character log in and here is the kicker. . . . I haven't yet done a Windows update. I suspect that I will get the usual 90 plus seconds everyone else get after Windows Update.

Can anyone tell me how I can stop BootRace to run every time I reboot even though I chose run 'only once' when I tested it? :huh:
