How long is your computer boot up/down time?

For a 2012 desktop with an Intel Celeron (dual core), 80 gb harddrive, with 8 gb RAM, upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7 (when Windows 8 first came out), it takes about 20 seconds to boot up, and about 10 seconds to shut down.


For a 2014 Toshiba laptop with an Intel Celeron (dual core CPU), 500 gb harddrive, upgraded with 16 gb RAM (from 4 gb RAM), running Windows 8, it takes about 15 seconds to boot, and about 5 seconds to shut down.


I was curious how long others computers boot times take and what kinds of hardware and operating systems you are using?

See? No one has commented. Your equipment is AWESOME!

My 16GB ram Lenovo ,1 TB SDD,running windows 8 is a turd,compared your desk top.
My HP has only 4GB ran and it's 90 seconds boot up!

It's official.I have fallen out of the 'Vegas post's ONLY club.
I lasted 5 months.

I have equipment envy.

Nice Units!

Why would you turn off your compooter?

To have those crazy up times of 60 days with out a reboot.

Going through your start-up menu once a week and disabling all the bloatware will work wonders on your load times. In windows 8.0 and beyond you can access this by pressing control, alt and then delete which will bring up your task manager. Then click the start-up tab. It will show you what programs auto load on start and their impact on your start up time. You can disable the stuff you don't want to load on start up. ddd228 in particular can probably speed his load time tremendously by doing this.


I have an i5 laptop running 8.1 with an 840m dedicated GPU and 8GB of ram and it loads pretty damn fast.

YES! We all should do that and I turn off my comp at night.
I have trouble disabling CCleaner on start up.
I have system configuration on a quick launch tab.
I disable it and it comes back.
I run Spy Hunter and a few others and I use disc clean up a lot.
Defrag is maybe once a month.
My Windows 7 comp is maxxed out on RAM.6 GB.
I would like CCleaner on my Windows phone,but no.
