Author Topic: How long does it take to start your computer?  (Read 2065 times)

How long? Just curious


5.4 seconds i think. somewhere around 5 and 6.

where as my opld PC took a full minute and a half to boot up

I'd place my money on 20-25 seconds, but I don't know for sure and I'm not testing it right now.

define "start"

do you mean bios time or do you mean time to get to the logon screen


6-8 seconds? At most 12. Most is the POST. Flashes me the logo and stuff then displays Information about my hard drives. bitch I know how many I'm rocking, no need to tell me. I wish there was a quick boot option.

edit: those were numbers before I installed an SSD. I fixed it.

5-10 secs for me, but my mom's custom built takes 30 minutes for some reason.

there's DEFINITELY something wrong here

Gosh, what the heck

What do you consider start?!

Mine takes around 10-15 seconds to start to a ready-to-use state.

What the heck do you guys all super fast SSDs?!

Guys I'm talking from bios to windows splash
