Boot up times?

[380mcn]

With the SSD, mine is an amazing 11.4 seconds:



With the HDD though, it varied between 40 and 50 secs.

VERY GOOD!!!

One of my Bluetooth startup files is making mine 23 sec.

One of my Bluetooth startup files is making mine 23 sec.

I have BT disabled and all the Asus junk removed. I also disabled a few services and startup apps.

I just did Black Viper's "Safe" services tweaks, this morning.

If you want to tryout a program to analyze your boot times and what takes the longese, try WinBootInfo. It costs $14.99USD but there's a free 30 day trial, and a lot can be learned in 30 days.

- You want to know what is actually happening during the Windows Boot?
- You noticed that your computer takes ages to become operable after power-on, but you didn’t know how to see what actually gets to be loaded in your computer’s memory?
- You need a reliable tool for monitoring Windows boot performance over time?
- You want to optimize your computer’s performance and need detailed information about loaded system components?

- Windows Boot Time Logging

- Detailed information about loaded drivers, applications and system DLLs
- Each loaded system component is displayed on the detailed time map
- Tree-View of Loaded Processes sorted in time, with all belonging DLLs/Drivers
- Different times logged (boot to Login Prompt, Explorer, Session Manager)
- Detailed CPU utilization tracking during boot, per every CPU core
- I/O activity tracking during boot
- System Interrupt / Context Switch tracking during boot
- Text Log generation and Printing
- History Feature, for comparing current with the past boot results

You can also do a bit of boot time sleuthing By going to Event Logs >> Applications and Service Logs >> Microsoft >> Windows >> Diagnostics Performance >> Operational

Event ID
100 is a startup
101 is a degradation in load time

200 is shutdown
201 is a delay in shutting down

300 is standby
301 is a degradation in load time

Not sure yest what the other codes are. Driver variances I think.

OCZ Vertex 3 120GB -23 sec boot- That includes like 6 programs and the important drivers of coarse.
But my actual system boot is always at or under 11 sec!

I use a free program called Soluto that allows you to remove and or delay programs from your boot. It also keeps a nice chart of your boot times along with a web browser add-on manager and a crashed app manager. Its a really neat software.

1:30-2:30 boot total boot up time is rediculous.. even with regular 7200 rpm harddrives..

[JRd1st]

Is that Soluto? I don't trust it. Too invasive. I noticed that it keeps timing a long time after Windows becomes useable, too. I tried that program for 10 minutes and got the creeps then restored to a previous patririon image.

Did you try WinBootInfo?

I think there might be something wrong with my hard drive. I might be the reason why my laptop is so "loud".. and when I play games that noise + fan combination might create that weird screech that my friends over Skype can hear. My 2 cents, I don't know.

I just checked mine on a near-stock installation. I've upgraded the BIOS and the Atheros driver (my replacement Intel 6230 hasn't arrived yet) and disabled a couple of the more obnoxious ASUS apps, but otherwise it's what shipped with the laptop. I booted up in 75.2 seconds. I'll be getting an SSD and performing a clean install at some point in the near future, but for now I just don't reboot often. I usually hibernate, and that's much faster to restore than booting up.
