My Cpu is intel i5 4440 @ 3.10 GHz,
The O.S- Windows7 Ultimate.64 bit ,
I have 4 GB of RAM and of course
2 tab of hard disk.

So when I start my pc , it boot very slowly(maybe it take more than 15-20 seconds!)
I did many configuration like by opening the Msconfig , but it didn't had much effect.
So plz anyone help me to boot the pc faster through the BIOS because I don't know much about it.(just know how to open it )
If anyone can then plz mentioned the BIOS used by the Gigabyte H87M-D3H
I will be very much thankful :) :) because I feel irritated everytime after starting the pc.
(Plz help me by giving simple answers because once I took advice from a website and the pc gone mad!! 🙁 🙁 )

From what I understand when you buy a SSD (Solid State Drive), it should come with software that allows you to clone the C: drive (OS drive) onto the SSD. However, the SSD's must be large enough to clone the C: drive.

For example, lets suppose you buy the following Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD for $180 (I believe someone has already mentioned SSDs can be expensive), and you have a 500GB hard drive. If the C: drive takes up the entire 500GB, then you cannot clone it onto a smaller drive. In order to clone your c: drive (OS drive), the partition must be 250GB or small.

Alternatively, you can reinstall Windows and all your programs. Ideally, this is the best solution, since I...

20 seconds for cold-boot using HDDs is actually fairly good. You would need a fast SSD to get faster times than that.

Another option would be to simply put your PC in standby instead of shutting it down, which puts you back exactly where you were within seconds.

20 second boot times is pretty fast for Win 7 and hard drives.

You can purchase a SSD and use it as your OS drive. SSDs have higher read / write speeds than hard drives.

You can also install Win 8. At least with my experience with my Del Latitude 3450 which has Win 8, it seems to boot up in about 10 seconds from cold start to desktop (when the password is disabled). That's with a 5400RPM hard drive.

SSD is a flash memory based drive that has faster write /read times than a mechanical drive and to boot from it you need to install the OS on it. Cost is around $100, sometimes cheaper based on deals, for 120-128GB drive
Fast boot enabled is pretty much the only BIOS setting to set for faster boot time.

What part of the boot are you having issues with? Power button to the start of the windows loading screen?

If you are getting 20 seconds from power button to the windows login screen you are as fast as you are going to get as said above. 20 seconds is damn fast, mine has slowed down, it now takes about 2 minutes to go from power button to the login screen with 1TB Caviar Black drives :/

So how can I install it(the SSD) in my Pc?
Does it requires BIOS?

Question to hunter315- Why so much of delayed time? :) Will this happen to me like you? You have a so powerful rig, how did this happened

BIOS is the menu you can view when you press F2 or something at the start of your PC boot. It allows you to do some OC, and change boot device. Different motherboards offer different features, but these are the main ones.

A SSD is basically a faster hard drive, but it doesn't have that disk in it. It uses flash memory. Kinda like a bigger USB thumbdrive. SSDs are pretty expensive, but they're great upgrades if your PC takes an awfully long time to boot.

I think that should clear things. No misunderstandings now

Not always. I bought two that did not.
