I have Toshiba Satellite A200 1N7 laptop and I have a problem withHow long does the BIOS take before your OS starts to load? And what
very long time system booting. Probably the reason of that long
time booting is testing the RAM memory. I've checked the BIOS. I
had Phoenix ISKAA BIOS Ver. 1.7 and I updated it to ver. 2.5 but I
still can not turn of the RAM memory test. I have 1 GB memory and
it takes a lot of time to test it during booting. I can not find
in BIOS where to turn it of. Or any other way to do it.
I've found the option in BIOS for faster booting, but it didn't
solve my problem with testing the RAM memory.
If anybody can help me, please give my any advice how to solve my
problem.
Thanks.
OS are you booting? And how long does this take?
about 90 seconds. After that OS starts to load, it takes about 70
seconds. I have the other laptop (HP Pavilion dv9308nr) and it starts in
only
40 seconds (also with MS Vista 32bit Home Premium).
The HP laptop doesn't have this problem with fast booting. It also
has Phoenix BIOS.
Reseated the current chip?
Yes 90 seconds is way too long. One would think you could turn off the
memory test in the BIOS, but maybe not. Checking the memory should only take
a second anyway. And I agree with GG, something is wrong. First place to
look at is the RAM itself like GG suggested.
I’ve replaced the RAM modules with modules from HP laptop. Toshiba still boots very long time – no change at all. So I belive the RAM modules are not the reason of that long booting.
