Boot Up Time Thread

Starting a new thread to see what kind of Boot up time everyone is getting.

Here how to get the program http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151819-boot-up-time.html

Just submit a screenie of your time, HD model , OS and specs if youd like.

2 slow wd1600's ($50 bucks each 2 years ago) in RAID 0 128KB stripe - this is windows 7 though, which starts a bit faster than vista.


EDIT: it will be interesting to see how W7 stacks against Vista in boot times.

 

^ Not bad at all for some older tech (hard drives)
I know SSD and W7 is gonna be quik , hopefully somebody will post up.

 

one way to help speed things up, if you use a lottt of photoshop fonts, install them into the photoshop programs folder, instead of the windows font folder

 

Does that actually do anything? I always do it on my system - but it never seems to make a difference.

 

i guess it just depends on how many fonts you have installed

 

I lost like 3seconds, going to MSCONFIG, and changed Number of processors to 4 (or whatever you own x2 or x4 core) and Detect HAL checked off.

 

I would imagine there to be a pretty big margin of error for the boot times, but the number of processors boot tweak has been debunked

There is a pretty good program called BOOTVIS that can optimize your stuff. IDK if it works with Vista though.

 

i think we already had a thread like this, where i posted mine

 

Bump, im sure other people are curious to see how long fellow TPU members PC"S take to reboot.

 

Booting from second partition 150GB into the drive. And also about 1-3 seconds added for inputting password.

 

My mom's PC boots in 219 seconds with a WD1600JB-00GVA0 using WinXP. Which is a hell of a lot better than it used to.

 

69 sec

 

mine has a start-up time of 6 seconds, and a shutdown time of 5 seconds, its an XP sp3 though

is there a start-up and shutdown logger for XP? so that I can also put my screenshots on mine?

 

I'm sure there is a program for XP...I hope so because I gotta see this 11 sec restart time! It sounds kinda hard to believe, but please prove me wrong

Edit: I found this: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...er-to-monitor-boot-up-time-in-windows-system/
But I did not research it so check it out.

 

I only used a stopwatch on my test LOL
OS 1-6 seconds start, 5 seconds shutdown (Application OS)
OS 2-5 seconds start, 4 seconds shutdown (gaming OS)

disabled prefetcher on the registry
used tuneXP for faster shutdown
disabled recent documents history (recentdocshistory 1)
disabled some of the unnecessary start-up items not required for booting
disabled StartMenuLogOff
noguiboot LOL
defrag boot files to the edge of the partition
OS 1 deepfreeze 6 locked, no anti-virus LOL

 

thanks bro ill try it and post some screenies after

 

Ya im once again wrong bro



cause im starting my stopwatch the moment I press enter in the OS selection screen



and stopping it as soon as the desktop appears (5 seconds)



Sorry im wrong

same thing I did on the shutdown, the moment i press the shutdown button until my monitor blacks out (4 seconds) I think its wrong again

 

Yeah, I have never heard of any desktop computer booting up in 4-6 sec. But your timings are still impressivevery nice.

 

Thats awesome dude, but I think this VBscript Is the total restart time.
Just run it and see what you get.

 

I ran the bootracer program T77snapshot linked, 31 seconds

 

Tried some tweaks and this is the best I could come up with:

Startup & shutdown below, total restart time is ~ 85s, That's on my lappy.

my BIOS loading and RAID matrix controls takes most of that time (before i even get to OS loading)...i hate this stoopid motherboard :shadedshu

I'm praying win7 will get me better times...

(human_error | 88 secs | 2x ocz vertex 32gb ssd raid 0 | vista 64 ultimate sp2 )

 

add me



I have 4 OS in my rig..
so choosing it take time.
see specs on the left...
