Why does my computer take so long to boot up?
I have a T700r with a 1ghz cpu in it. I am using the A11 Bios and find that my boot up hangs on the Dell screen. Is there a way to make this quicker? I know it has nothing to do with the soundcard or 1ghz cpu because I booted up without the soundcard and had this problem before installing the new cpu. Is there something I can change in the Bios?

I assume by the word "hanging" you are actually referring to the machine pausing for a length of time when the Dell logo appears. If this is true, I don't know if your aware that while the logo is being displayed there is diagnostic tests occurring in the background as well a quick virus scan if you have anti-virus software installed. You can speed up the boot time by going into the BIOS setup and enabling the Quick Boot option which will skip over some the post tests. The link below is for the document on your BIOS setup and the Quick Boot option.
