Wow... there is alot. Most happens before the Windows loading screen starts to appear...
and a computer can do that bit in approx 8 seconds on a cold reboot...

Thats a lot of stuff... I never thought it was so complex.

I actually like the checks to see if the core voltage on the CPU is right before powering up. That must save quite a few systems I'd imagine.

I never knew that there was this much stuff that happens during boot wow

 

[~mr mixx~]

Lots' of processes going on during this phase, and it happens so fast you would never know all that was happening, although spyware and/or a virus can slow it to a crawl.

Wow, that's pretty cool! I'd never think of all those things would happen.
