why my bios is slow to open?
449251
If you're talking about your computer bios, then it could be due to several reasons such as delay time set to query the readiness of the Hard disk(s) or other tasks that could happen during POST (Power-on Self-Test) like checking the availability of floppy drive, cd rom, VGA, bla bla bla... Some Bios's come with options like Silent Boot, Quick Boot etc, you ought to check them out in your box and modify to your satisfaction.

I believe that the bios setting will be superceeded by the OS.\n\nANSWER: Manually  unfortunately\n\nIf you have XP.... you can try from the 'run' command\n\ncontrol keyboard\n\nthis will open the keyboard properties window without going thru the control panel, however, Group Policies may prevent you from executing this as well.....luck !

low memory, virus, to many open programs. try closing all programs and just run virus scanner and see if it speed up ur computer.

Reset the bios via jumper..then play with the bios settings to make all changes manual..not auto, then configure all thru ure specs.

if you mean thebios startup, the problem is proobably in the way youplaced the ram.\nmake sure the RAM's are put in nicely, the tap is locked, and that if you use more than one RAM slot the RAMS are the same (same speed, company)\n\nIf your RAM cards are with a different memory, this is how they should be (persuming you have 4 slots, and your MB is not very old)\n\nAB ----  DC\nY    -    X\n\n\n\nSo, lets say A,B,D,C, are cards inserted. AB and DC do not have to be equal; A can be 64 and B 1024\nBUT Y(A and B) has to equal X(D and C)\n\nHere is a more clear ex\n\n\nA -     b          -   d   -  c\n1024 -  512    -     1024  -  512\n\n\nif d and c are not used,this doesnt count \n\n\nthats how my ASUS P5ND2 SLI deleuxe works

It could be many things.... start by disconnecting  your Hard Drive... if it still restarts and does not let you stay in the bios try a new Power Supply... if persist its most likely your motherboard... make sure to disconnect  everything else...

1. Check the fan, if the cooling system is bad the processor will automatically step down its speed\n2. Remove all spyware and viruses by installing a good antivirus software\n3. Make sure you un install all software that you dont need. Any thing that runs in the back ground such as database services etc.\n4. Check how much RAM is currently being utilised and which processes are taking max cpu time. That might give you an indication which program is slowing it down.\n5. Check memory for consistency by doing a memchk from command prompt. Also check that CMOS setup detects the right amount of memory installed (2GB in your case)\n6. Try using Firefox browser. Its more resilient to spyware etc.

Well do you have a store bought computer or a custom build? Mine has a jumper that you move and then move it back to reset bios but each motherboard is different.

There should be a jumper somewhere on the motherboard that will reset the bios when you restart the computer.  You may have to download the manual for the motherboard to find it.  Make sure you set the jumper back to normal after you clear the bios password.

are you getting power or not. i would first check all the cables to see if anything are loose. i would also check the power supply. and also would look in you motherboard book to find how to reset the bios.

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System.\n\nWhen you boot up, your PC will show some data on a black screen and go through a memory test (amongst other things).  As it is doing this, hit the Delete button and you will enter the BIOS and be able to change a whole range of settings there.\n\nHowever, I seriously advise you to exercise caution.  Anyone asking what the BIOS is shouldn't really tinker with it until they get a bit more knowledge.  Tinkering with things you're not 100% sure of can really mess up your system.\n\nDo a bit of research.\n\nSecondly, the system administrator could be anyone.  Is it your PC?  Is it a company's PC? Are you on XP?  If you are, you need to log in as Administrator in order to get the right permissions to the change system. Tech support group is your IT dept (if it's a company's PC), but it looks like you're quoting from a warning message or something.

This could be hard drive errors. Try this first:\n\nPower on the computer, after the bios test press the "CTL" key multiple times to enter the diagnostic screen. Select exit to dos prompt. Run scandisk by typing scandisk at the prompt and press enter. Reboot after it completes

Yes, pull the Motherboard battery for a few minutes.\n\nOnce the charge drains, your MB should be back at it's factory defaults.\n\nResponse to question: \nOnly the BIOS is affected.  Nothing on your hard drive is touched.  If you made some tweaks to your BIOS you will need to make them again, since any tweaks (along with the BIOS password) will be lost when the battery is removed.

If it does only during startup then its the BIOS setting that holds the key. But if it does quite often during your normal working, then a virus could be a culprit. Another reason could of some program which has been run from the drive and stopped adruptly and its still seeking its home from the background.

I had the same problem the bios rom stick is starting to go bad and it will keep taking longer and longer to boot untill it wont any more. Mine got up to 12 min. My new computer if you get the picture, takes 15 seconds.\n\nJan you are the one here with a LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!!!!! If did know anything you would know that the BIOS ROM CHIP is what holds the startup files and post boot and a few other things. When it starts to go bad either the computer goes completely dead and does nothing including not giving you a post boot screen, OR it starts taking longer and longer and longer to bootup until it wont boot at all.\n\nAlso if it was the RAM Memory sticks are bad the COMPUTER WOULD NOT START AT ALL!!!!! DA HOYYYY and it would give you what those of us in the IT field call the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!\n\nAlso if it was the power pack once again it would not boot at all!! The first time I ran into this problem the first thing I did was switch out the power pack because yes the power pack does do the post boot by zapping the board with 12 volt DC (it switches 120 AC to 12 volts DC this is why you never open them up to work on them you just spend the 50 bucks and buy a new one it has capacitors in it that even when it is unplugged and turned off if you touch one it can frie you!! The reason for this is to get the 12 volt DC it has to kick the AC voltage up to about 600 volts AC first). After the post boot it goes down to about 2.5 volts DC which is what the board runs at. Whenever you work on the inside of a computer you should leave it plugged into the wall. If you have what they call a ground wrist strap (goes around your wrist and has a alligator clip which you just clip to the metal frame of the computer) the reason for this is you want to be grounded thru the computer and into the wall in case you happen to have any static electricity on you that can frie things in your computer expecially the RAM memory sticks because the board is is only 2.5 volts even if you had it turned on nothing would happen to you if you accidently touched something. If you dont have a wrist band then you have to work one handed,and keep the other hand holding onto the metal. Wrist bands are about 5-10 at Radio Shack.\n\nIf it is a bad or lose cable once again IT WOULD NOTTTTTT BOOT AT ALLLLL!!!\n\n  ZEUS   Comptia A+ Certified in computer repair,building,and troubleshooting.

reboot your machine, and enter the bios menu when it is rebooting. you should be able to see your CPU temperature as one of the BIOS optiions.\n\nIf that is hard for you, then you may consider installing software that does it for you. PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows you to do this -- it will also stress test your CPU.
