Computer help: Long boot time in BIOS
Long boot time in BIOS
by Aeirlys - 6/6/09 5:46 PMHello,
When I boot my computer, it stays on the Dell splash screen for a long time and then I get a command prompt for 2-3 minutes. Once Windows starts loading the system boots very quickly. Any idea what's causing the problem? I've checked the boot order and that appears to be fine.
Thanks!

Totally fixed it. I should have known that. Thanks!
It doesn't always fix it.

But it is a common source of the delay.
slow booting
by mossa1 - 6/6/09 6:46 PM In reply to: Long boot time in BIOS by AeirlysI installed a hp j6400s wireless printer for about a week now.
I do not have any problem with wireless printing. I have problem with booting ,since I installed the printer it takes almost 4 to 5 minuts for my computer to boot up.
Got in touch with hp support after 45 min. talking no solution.
I have a dell xps g5 with 3.2ghz processor and 3gb of ram and using
window xp with explorer 8.
I need help.
