Slow boot speed on new build

Syther101 · 24 Feb 2012 at 01:21

I seem to be experiencing slow boot speed on my new build. I'm not exactually sure what a normal boot time is but from actually turning it on to getting to my actual desktop it takes around 1minute 30seconds. Compared to my old laptop of worse spec only taking around 30 seconds. Computer specs have been listed below. Any help would be really appreciated!

Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II TOP 1024MB
Intel Core i5-2500K OC @ 4.30GHz
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Intel Z68
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache
Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W
Akasa AK-CC4008HP01 Venom Voodoo
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz

I have also taken a look through my processes but will post a pic incase I have missed something.

Agian thanks to anybody that replies!

With no SSD I'd say that's a fairly standard boot time depending on how much time it spends with BIOS screens.

Laptop goes from full shutdown to desktop in 30 seconds? Or from sleep mode / hibernation to desktop in 30 seconds? Big difference in those.

Bit slow but not surprising considering your startup apps.

I have mine cut down to 7 and it boots in about 20 seconds with no SSD.

Waiting for the 128gb prices to come down before I migrate to a SSD, will be blistering quick then

Nope laptop goes from complete shut-down which I found quite wired. Guess it might be because all the laptop's hardware is integrated (e.g. Intergrated graphics) compared to my PC which has to boot my GFX card etc

SSD is definitely something I'm investing in!

Alrighty. That's quite lightning fast for a laptop hd, must be a very optimized pre-install/system

Also it never hurts to run malware/virus scanners of multiple manufacturers in a situation like that, just in case. They tend to bog down the PC a lot. I know I don't visit any dodgy sites and no one else uses my PC but I still run them monthly, just in case!

Thanks, Just finished scanning and optimising with Spybot S&D. Now doing a full scan with malwarebytes
