• Faster Boot Speed?
    12 replies, posted
Hi there FP Tech Support. I have a fairly new computer and it does everything fast as shit except for booting up which takes longer than most others I've seen. Now, I've set it so there's no GUI boot and it uses all 4 cores instead of the default 1 to start up and it gets to the login screen almost instantly but my issue comes in once I've typed the password and it says "WELCOME :D" and it spends forever on that screen and loading the desktop(which only has a few icons and a solid color background). Is there anyway I can increase the speed past the login point?(Windows 7 64)
No GUI boot: Doesn't make a difference. It only changes when the GPU driver is initialized. It'll still take the same amount of time to init whether it's loaded in the beginning or the end of the boot process. Multi-Core Boot: This is actually a myth. Windows uses all your cores for booting.

What are your specs?

Try disabling the needless processes by typing "msconfig" into Run, and go to the Startup tab Post your system specs while you're at it.

I'd like a RAM SS in speccy.
Some new computers come loaded with shit. "OOOhhh try this for 30 days FREE and you can GO TO YOUR PC"...or, you could just get UltraVNC... I've even heard stories of them coming with viruses on. Perhaps they are software to kill your computer after the warranty, or perhaps thats all a myth...the only way to be sure is to build it yourself Anyway, back to the point. Run MSConfig and post a screeny. We can help tell you what you don't need, if you don't feel sure enough yourself...

One thing I did notice though was that a lot of it was stuff put on there by ASUS that I had no idea about what it was(I removed that though)
If you have removed that stuff and restarted, try CCleaner to clean up your registry, may help a little

Here's startup stuff [url]http://img156.imageshack.us/i/startups.png/[/url] (can't img tag because i have no imageshack account)
You can probably turn off most of that stuff. CCleaner will show extra crap you don't need, and is generally useful in a lot of other ways in keeping your PC nice and speedy. You can image tag anyway if you right click the image in the link, and click open image in new tab.

You could disable the FancyStart thing. It's useless unless you care about the logo when your computer boots up.
