    So I received my replacement laptop from HP a couple days ago and I did a complete reinstall of Windows 7 professional. The issue I'm having is that the boot time on this laptop seems slower than the one I sent back.

    I used this program to measure my boot time: Download windows Boot timer and application Launch Timer and found out it was about 74 seconds. Now it could just be me but doesn't this seem a bit too much for a fresh install of windows?

    I used the drivers that were in the SWSetup folder after I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro. My startup consists of only two things: "IDT PC Audio", "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver", "Catalyst Control Center" and "USB 3.0 Monitor".

    I'm not quite sure what I should do next to help fix this issue. Can someone else run the utility and see what numbers they get?

    Thanks.
