My fastest is about 25 seconds with a fresh copy of windows installed, the main programs I use, and of course after I'm done tweaking it.

This is done in that speed with a 3000+ processor.

On my other comp, with an FX-57, it takes about 10-15 seconds with all the above done.

EDIT: This is also counting from as soon as I hit the button to the time I can open a program.(if i went from BIOS to windows with no hour glass, it would be more like 20 seconds for my main comp, 10 for the other)

My laptop boots hella fast.

My main computer takes a while though. It takes some time just going through the bios screen.

I've never timed it though as that is utterly the least important thing I've ever not considered to not matter at all to anyone ever.

WOW

27 seconds is amazing.

Mine must take all of 5 minutes to load up with anti-virus software, etc etc.

I would appreciate it if anyone could post some tips and tricks for clearing my computer of all of the rubbish, and allowing it to boot up quicker.

Are there any quick tests which I can do to highlight areas which need fixing?

format c:\, nah but seriously if your PC is taking that long to boot it is time for a format. Don't install crap you don't need and disable services that you don't use.

around 2 minutes, when i press the power button this is the process

2secs: dell logo

1mini sec: blank screen

20secs: xp loading screen the moving left to right

1sec: to click on username

1min and some secs: start up items, like msn, aim, logitech webcam & mouse thingy, konfabutlator, webroot spy sweeper, quciktime. i dont know why it takes so long for simple apps, but it's alright since the sucker is used once in a while, and i always hibriate it so it wont take as long anymore

Why can't I PM you? :huh:

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
