Re: 10 minutes to boot up
Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance
If it is taking 10 minutes before the POST even start the bootup, it doesn't
have anything to do with Windows, that's all hardware. The OS isn't involved
until it says "Loading Windows" (or something to that effect.
Have you gone through your BIOS/Setup, to see if it is doing some type of
system/memory check before booting? That seems unlikely, since that would
all occur after POST, in fact, I think the only thing that occurs before
POST is the power supply levels the voltages and send a PowerGood signal to
the MB.

I'm running windows XP home with auto updates enabled. From switch on, it
now takes over ten minutes before the POST checks kick in.
Anyone any thoughts on how to speed things up???
