Well there you go. What you are seeing is hybrid sleep, not a full shut down. It turns off all the fans and drives and retains your session in RAM after writing a copy of it on the drive in case of power loss. 

 

It's perfectly ok to use it like that and seeing as you have a HDD, probably preferable to full shut down.

Hi, I know this is SUPER strange but I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD and it is booting up under 5 seconds! sometimes 3 seconds!

it blinks black and a little white for half a second and then the log in screen appears! Logging into the PC is like 5 seconds!

I am happy but also concerned about this strange behaviour!

 

This all happened after using CCleaner, deleting a game and setting system restore to 1GB ( I only need the first restore point) Am I supposed to be happy? (I also disabled a few start up applications)

PS: I also set Fast boot up in BIOS

Thanks

If you're not noticing any instability, You probably have nothing to worry about. The white flashing you're experiencing might be cause for alarm. I don't think that's supposed to happen.

I think it is because the settings that you have applied, but if it is working properly then you should be happy I guess. it is indeed really fast though.

also, are you sure your HDD isn't a hybrid? and what reading speeds is it rated for?

It's probably entering some sort of hybrid sleep mode. Check the windows power options, there was a setting somewhere that controls what the 'shut down' button actually does. But really if everything is working fine, just leave it be and enjoy. :)

5 seconds sounds sounds questionable, you're sure you're turning *off* the system right? that sounds closer to hibernate terretory.

 

that said, people give HDD boot drives too much shit, if you keep clean house they can be pretty damn swift. my media center (which is a frigging 12 watt quadcore) reboots in under a minute :P

Sounds fishy to me, are you sure there's not a secret SSD in there? ;) 

I edit my posts a lot.

here's the thing, a HDD cant spin up and read the amount of data it needs to read quick enough to boot into windows in 5 seconds.

 

either you're trying to bullshit the forum, or you performed voodoo.

Are you sure?! How do I check if my HDD is not a hybrid or not?

you see.. i do those two things on computers on a daily basis (lots of customers' computers means lots of maintences) neither of these should impact boot times in any significant way.
