Gaming How fast does ur comp turn on/off?

[da_head]

yep so list your OS and your turn on/off time.

o and no cheating!

(such as disabling programs you normally would have startup)

Windows 7
turn on: 56 51 seconds
turn off: 21 seconds

it's a lot faster than my vista. so what's yours?

 

[Mangofett]

I never timed my desktop PC but my eeepc boots in 30 seconds exactly, with xp

You just wanna show off that u got windows 7

. I would install the beta but my parents think its gunna break the computer. But its WINDOWS. Why would windows break the computer/!? I tell ya, my parents are clueless. Anywyas, my computer with Vista starts up in like a minute or so and the computer that once had norton antivirus on it and is loaded with programs takes like like a minute or 2 to start up and another 10 minutes until you can actually use it.

WindowsXP
On - from power to idle, about 20-25 seconds
Off - instant... I just hold the power button (since I never turn it off, I usually have to kill it due to a freeze)

 

[Joe88]

does this included bios boot up or as soon as you see the logo/loading bar?

 

[Problematique]

20 sec minimum

edit: for clarity i change 20 sec to sec minimum for those who thought minutes, oh the pwnage of a quad core

 

[DeMoN]

Well I have tried both Vista and Windows 7 and there's no noticeable difference at all.
You guys must be lucky.

I'll post my exact times later.

 

[juggernaut911]

525,600 minutes! How do you meas-... nvm

about 22 seconds on vista turn on. I'm guessing 20 sec on shut down

 

[Diablo1123]

Don't time it, so I wouldn't know.
Turn off: Never, it never happens
Or instant, holding the power button

 

[DrKupo]
