rudrax Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi guys, I am creating this thread to putting one thing in mind that How can we make our system to start up FAST..Here I am expecting opinions from all of the forum members. Will be preferable that you use the following format to state the data..for example I am showing mine:Vaio notebook on i3-350m, 3GB, 500 GB (5400 rpm)Hot start= around 20 sec, cold start= around 30 secoptimizer= Kingsoft PC DoctorAny extra that you use and wanna recommend (if any)I believe that this thread will help all of us to improve our start up speed..PS: Hot start means you start your PC in short time after shutting downCold start means you start your PC after a long time of shutting down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanon Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hell, it's always been slow to start, around 20-30 seconds. I could never believe the 6 second stories. xDRunning XP x32 on a dual core @1,6 GHz, 3GB of RAM, and not using any optimiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwarde54 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just exactly when do you start & end counting the seconds? When you turn the power switch on?... when the POST (Power-on Self Test) appears, or when the m'board screen logo shows up is when you start to count? And how about the "end" part? When is the "start" & "end"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try defragmenting the hard drive and optimizing the registry, sometimes this can optimized the performance of the system especially in XP..

dcs18 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Mine is blazing fast and I think a lot depends on the HDD speed and the RAM. Those with SSDs will have a phenomenal rush and I guess my 16 GBs on a core i7 play a pivotal role, here. Those with a more modest hardware could gain substantially from the Black Viper configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonliul Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i think win7 is smart enough, use start/shutdown speedup may cause unstable, sometimes have to do more system restore.Kingsoft PC Doctor has millions user in china, but it's dangerous to normal user. we love it just cos it always cause system problem here and there, this make us -- so called advanced user get more invite to dinner as payment. :tooth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Used Kingston PC Doctor, didn't see any significant difference in the performance of the system...The system performance improvement is a bit difficult to feel, I felt though..and I felt the start up improvement significantly with that.

Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just run msconfig and then disable unnescessary software from auto-starting. Then run services.msc and disable/set to manual services that you are not using/needed.My Win8 laptop start up time - 6-8 secsMy Win 7 laptop start up time - 10-15 secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still didn't much difference, is maybe because my system is 5 years old and going towards dying soon... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxhedroom Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The most noticeable and best upgrade one can make is to switch to an SSD as a boot drive. Crazy fast boots. You'll never go back. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
