How long does your PC take to boot?

Ive enabled quick boot, disabled full screen logo and the marvell ide controller. All help to speed things up a bit. Ideally i could do with leaving my system at the login screen for a few hours. So that garbage collection on my ssd can do it's thing. Little bit slower than when i first got it.
 
21 seconds to a working desktop - OCZ Vertex 60Gb.

My system ran a 36Gb Raptor as the OS drive before I purchased the SSD. 43 seconds dead was its best time.
 
Does your BIOS not have an option to quick boot? Disable logo screen?

It has an option to do with full screen logo, and I have now put that to disabled

No quick boot option though I don't think, can anyone confirm if the Asus P8Z68 V LX has a quick boot option? Thanks


Thanks for that, it was really helpful

I used to have (according to boot racer):

Time to logon: 6 seconds
Time to desktop: 14 seconds
User logon waiting time: 0 seconds (as I have no password, I assume)

And now that I have done some of those steps in the link above I have:

Time to logon: 6 seconds
Time to desktop: 13 seconds
User logon waiting time: 0 seconds (as I have no password, I assume)


Only one second less but ... every little helps :)
 
About 6 seconds to password screen. Then a couple more seconds after that. :D

As above - SSD! <3

Surely this isn't from pressing the power button? POST is bound to take at least 6 seconds.

I've timed a Crucial M4 on a fresh install of Windows with no startup progs and a rapid POSTing motherboard. It was 19 seconds from pressing power button to desktop.

6 seconds... really?

What SSD are you lot using and what sort of motherboards/settings do you use? I'd love mine to turn on that quickly.

My current PC takes an eternity. As the other guy said, I have two raid controllers and they take forever. On top of my hard drives and other guff. Not to mention lack of trim on raided ssd's (soon to change :D :D :D)

About 1:30 for me. I'm guessing, not timed it. As I do what reaper does. Hit button and stick kettle on.
 
19 seconds to desktop and 23 seconds in all. Will probably have a mess around with settings later this week as I'm getting a new case so will be rehousing and upgrading a couple of things. OS is installed on a vertex2 60gb
 
Just ran bootRacer...

Time to Logon : 19 Seconds
Time to desktop: 45 - 5 = 40 seconds

Not too bad to say its a mechanical drive and my computer hasnt been formatted in years. Over 4 years in fact, I just kept cloning my drive onto other ones
