System Boot Speed

ID:186030 Sep 4 2005, 12:47 pm
Strawgate	I've been recently working on my system boot speed, I found out these numbers Shutdown: 5 seconds Windows Load: 3-4 seconds MotherBoard Prompt: 13 seconds I figured by removing the Graphics Card information at start I could skin off 5 seconds. I also reordered the boot priority to increase the speed. How would I remove the Graphics Card information at startup?

Vito Stolidus	I have no idea what you're talking about, which probably means this belongs in Computers and Technology. Just a tip for next time. --Vito

Strawgate	Im talking about the motherboard startup, not the Windows startup

Crispy	You can't, AFAIK. That's a necessary and unavoidable part of the startup process. Your system already boots faster than mine. You don't really have reason to complain. =P

See, my computer is like... A Smurf. You can give them lots and lots of beer, but if the commercials(The computer is off) dont flick on, they get a hangover.(I.E. Cause problems).

It was recently formatted, I went through and turned off alot of stuff in msconfig and in services(Security Risks, Things like fast user switching). Ive been also tweaking things by using this site www.Tweakxp.com its actually farely nice site. I didn't do much but everything I did was farely good to mee.

Hazman	Yes, but it is initializing while it is showing the information. IMHO, what you said is akin to saying, 'I don't want all this fancy info while my system boots up, I'll just flash the BIOS so my PC goes straight to [insert OS name here] without the BIOS screens'.
