Zain Adeel Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 my old athlon xp took 40s from pressing the button to WIN7 loading to desktop.. but my new system takes more than 2 minutes.. and about 68 secs are spent before the Win logo comes up.. so i suspect its my BIOS :( is there anyway to speed it?

Growled Member Posted January 9, 2011 Member Share Posted January 9, 2011 My Windows 7 partition takes about 25 seconds to start but my Peppermint One partition takes about 12 seconds or less.

ArKeYa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The fastest boot time is one with the oldest OS installed on the newest machine. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/18/#findComment-593574462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarLion Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Cold boot (S5): 22 seconds Hibernation (S4): 12 seconds Sleep Mode: (S3): 2 seconds I spend more time waiting for POST to finish than waiting for Windows to boot.

svnO.o Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Around 24 seconds with my desktop + SSD (fastest time might be a few seconds quicker), and about 15-20 seconds with my laptop using the Momentus XT hybrid drive. My desktop has a slow BIOS (damn you Gigabyte) which eats up the majority of the time while the laptop is blazing fast in comparison (not surprising since boot times are more important in laptops). On another note the HTPC in the the living room has a newer DDR3 mobo in it (ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3) which has a quick BIOS too.

redvamp128 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 On a good day? 7 minutes. Normally it's 15 or so. I have a hardware problem that I can't isolate. What is your system specs and also have you checked the event viewer? I also take it the system is probably current on Windows Updates- Maybe some people on here can help you track down the issues- My Laptop _- 1.6ghz Pentium M 1 gig memory XPSP3- takes about 45 seconds- (classic - also used ccleaner to disable what I don't need to load) Desktop takes about the same AMD Athlon™ Processor 2850e (1.8 gig) Windows 7 with 4gigs of memory- takes about 52seconds- Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220190-your-fastest-boot-time/page/18/#findComment-593590762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJens Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 About 25 secs untweaked. Good old Intel 160GB SSD. Was about 4 minutes before I moved my boot partition. Imagine how tech support reacted after they told me to reboot.

Not much I can do to speed up POST, though 20 Seconds to boot up for me and same with the POST with me, I'm sure i have seen a video on a motherboard which had a fast POST and it took like 2 seconds to POST.

br0adband Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Somewhat irrelevant in today's world but... just this morning I decided to try out the Windows 8 Developer Preview on my Dell Latitude D630 with the following basic specs: - Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz - 4GB of DDR2 667 - 80GB Hitachi 7200 rpm SATA II hard drive (4+ years old) Installed the 64 bit version of Windows 8 DP off an 8GB USB stick (that version is 4.8GB, won't fit on a single layer DVD since it has the extra tools and Visual Studio Express 2011, etc). Did the updates that were available, then rebooted and before I even realized it was back at the lock screen it was. I figured, "Ok, that's odd..." so I rebooted again from the lock screen and watched it the second time. My "mental clock" said about 10 seconds from post-POST to the actual lock screen appearing. Figured that was pretty cool but, let's try it again from a pure cold boot. Shut if off, grabbed my cell phone and started the stopwatch app. Pressed the power button on the laptop and when the POST/logo disappeared, I started the stopwatch. At roughly 7.21 seconds, the lock screen apppeared again, from a pure cold start using a physical hard drive. Talk about impressive. :D With an SSD I would suspect it could easily do 3-5 seconds, maybe less. Windows 8, even in the current form, totally rocks... years ago I hand tuned and tweaked an XP installation on an old ThinkPad and the best it could manage was 9.6 seconds as measured with BootVis, but this ~7 seconds is pretty amazing.

deactivated_ Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Holy resurrected thread, Batman! OP was in 2004?! But mine is 14 seconds. Nothing spectacular. Older laptop but with Windows 7 and an SSD. I call B.S. on 3 seconds. That's called 'resume' not 'boot'.
