Boot Up Time Thread

3dsage · Jul 26, 2009

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.

3dsage · Jul 26, 2009

^ 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 :toast:

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 :ohwell:

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.

Maban · Aug 2, 2009

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.

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 :rolleyes:

, 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.

KH0UJ · Aug 5, 2009

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

But your timings are still impressive :rockout:

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

HalfAHertz · Aug 7, 2009

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.
