Question "Last BIOS time" in Task Manager ?

[WinnieDaPooh]

Hello everyone,

I just got a new pc and the last bios time always between 15-20 sec is that good? The system running on m.2 NVMe ssd. And i have another older pc running on ssd with last time bios of 8 sec how is the old pc booting up faster than the new on?

Do you mean the booting time?

 

[WinnieDaPooh]

I’m talking about this. That the booting time right?

Not sure why my Task Manager reports 0.0 sec. Is my computer the fastest in the world? 😛

Mine is at 18.8 and the older pc on 8.0 I thought new builds must be faster?!

Try disabling all unnecessary stuffs like memory checking, logo displaying... to see if you get faster time.

The SSD vs NVMe makes no difference when the BIOS is starting up. Newer boards take slightly longer to go start up because of all the devices integrated into them - The check input devices, usb ports, video cards, pci_bus, power supply stability, etc. Your old pc 's BIOS doesn't have as much to check before starting the boot cycle on the SSD.

My system takes 36-40 seconds according to the task manager and I am running a AMD 3970 ThreadRipper Pro but over 20 seconds of that time is waiting for the BIOS checks before the mainboard hands over the system from the BIOS

BIOS time is time it takes BIOS to hand control to windows.
Some Bios might be sped up if you use settings like Fast Boot as it makes BIOS run all its tests at the same time, so can save some time... but for most part PC so fast now you might not gain anything back really.
mine shows 16.7 seconds, my last PC was faster to give control but had slower parts so i didn't gain anything.

Edit: updated BIOS tonight, BIOS Time now 11.4seconds

15-20 seconds is fine. Sure beats 30 to 40 seconds on ssd or several minutes on hdd.
Not like you should be spending all day starting up so you hardly notice in long term.
