In the past, computers needed to run POSTs (power-on self-tests), which are no longer necessary. However, some systems still perform them and thus increase your PCs startup time. Memory check is the longest of them all and can last for several seconds. The Quick Boot option still performs all the necessary tests, but it does that quicker. This makes sense, because the complete version of POSTs is not really needed every time you power up your PC.
Turning on Quick
Boot is pretty easy:
- Enter BIOS settings
- Depending on BIOS version, you will see either “Quick Boot”, “Fast Boot” or “Memory Check”. Use the arrow keys to highlight it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to either enable "Quick Boot" or disable "Memory Check"
- Press Esc to exit the BIOS and don't forget to save all changes
- Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect
