Saturday, September 13, 2014 by bodadog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Need a little help from the experts experiencing odd boot times exactly what is the average normal boot time for Windows 7 64bit O.S. I am seeing in alot of tech sites confusing and conflicting information my average boot time is 1minute 30 seconds is this normal boot time? I used to get around 35 second boot times not any more please help !!! 
Let me add a little more info I am running Avast on startup that is all that is loading on startup outside of WindowBlinds core serv. and Windows FX serv the apps them selves are not loading on startup I load them after the desktop loads .I am getting a black screen between the start logo and the welcome screen for about 29 sec's something is wrong I just cannot find what is causing the problem !!!!!!!!

I use Piriform Defraggler about once a week I also have over 50% of hard drive open and yes I have an external 250gb Hdd connected to P.C..My laptop runs Windows 7 ultimate 32bit O.S. and I get 20 to 22 second boots on it religiously. but my desktop runs Windows 7 HomePremium 64bit O.S I thought 64bit was supposed to be faster than 32bit O.S guess I was wrong! NEED MORE COFFEE!
OK how much RAM do you have this may be the problem because the 64bit version needs a little more than the 32bit as far as i know.

I presently have 8gb of Ram but I am only running DDR2. My RAM is Kingston RAM chips only 8months old with heat sinks my CPU is Core 2 Duo at 2.2ghz dual core of course.

Win 7 64 bit needs 4gigs of memory last I heard. If you're using 32bit that much ram is useless, it won't see it.

32 bit can only address a GRAND total of 4gb including the video card AND bios,in 64 bit the ram limits are determined by the windows version eg home basic (8gb max). home premium (16gb) pro (192gb max) and ultimate (192gb max)(assuming windows 7) as window HATE has three version (two obtainable) basic (128gb) pro (512gb) and enterprise (512gb)(corperate only)
and these numbers are directly from micosoft developernet at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_8

I think their is some confusion I am running Windows 7 64bit HomePremium with 8gb of Ram! Uvah is correct minimum on 64bit should be 4gb Ram on 32bit 4gb will only read as 3.5gb!!

Just going back to the 'boot confusion', with sock manufacturers making [all] socks the same these days, I have sock confusion.
Frankly, I dunno which foot to put what on.

Now there's no need to be rude. What's more, there's, um, no need to exaggerate on my account.
Upon recent inspection in the mirror [shudder] [for everything below the waist] it appears I have developed a 2nd navel.
Damned old age... can't brag like I used to.

If you're that worried about your boot times, look into getting an SSD. I'm getting around 10 seconds boot time on W8 with a Samsung 840 SSD.

I said this once before. Shove a finger where the sun don't shine and holler snakes. When it pops out grab it. Eewww!

That's disgusting... and the sun don't shine there with good reason. 
BTW, do you use Vaseline on your finger or do you use it unlubricated?
Another idea I had was waving something [like undies] with female pheremones in front of it.... but it was like: "At youre age? C'mon, who the hell do you think you're kidding?"
