Hi All, I just received my M14X and I love it, my only problem is the boot up time takes extremely long, is this normal? Any help will be appreciated, Thanks.
-
How long? Mine takes about 45-50 seconds (Login included) on the stock HDD.
-
Mine take about 30 sec excl login and varies if incl login, my previous stock HDD (Seagate) was fail so Dell replace a new one for me and for some reason the new one (WD Scorpio Black) seem to run/file transferring faster than the Seagate thus booting up is much much better.

Mine takes about 40 seconds, but it all depends on your start-up items.
This is with the 750GB 7200rpm HD it came with.
I always put it in hibernate when I sleep since I'm always in the middle of something. -
While I only completely shut down before I go to sleep. -
40-55 minutes running the stock 750GB HDD it came with.

almost every phone available in the market today since the last 12-14 years or so have stop watch.. why not use it? error of few milliseconds sure can be ruled out

I have an M14x with a regular HDD, not a SSD, and my boot time is 24 seconds.

Does the 'no gui on boot up' increase boot up times in msconfig?
-
Mine takes about 2-3 minutes to boot up ...
I just timed it.
2:07 to boot to the windows login screen
6:06 to load windows to the point where I can open a program.
This is horrid boot times ... how can I fix this bs. -

This is the bible of windows 7 + SSD optimization .
-
I just went through that guide and did most of that stuff to optimize boot up time.
Now it took 1:36 to get to the windows login screen, and 3:24 to load windows to the point where I can start Chrome.
This is still ridiculously long for the m14x right?
I just got this beast about 2 weeks ago, its top of the line ... why does it take less time to book up my wife's latitude! -
If something is wrong even after this than I would contact dell because it can be a hardware issue maybe.

I don't know if this is related but I just ran 3dMark 6 and this is my result:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor,Alienware M14xR1 score: 5820 3DMarks
its' saying that my system performance is LOW compared to others with my configuration ... what do you guys get?

Not sure if anyone's used this, cool program that measures your bootup time -
@darbsllim, your scores sure are low as my M11x scores over 10000. Also, if you look at the numbers for your GPU everything is about zero. Do you even have it turned one?
-
Anyone else have this problem? -
Mine is the same low score as your 3dMark 6 scores dude...

edit: That can't be right as I've got the i7 2760qm? I'll do a retest and see... -

I still can't figure it out what happened , i tested with c300 , vertex 4 , both boot with 15sec , but on my m18x it only takes 9sec , I think there is some SSD performance issue with m14x r1 , r2
Tested : disable not unnecessary programs in msconfig , clean install , high performance power plan , etc... not working at all..
Did i missed something?
