Some 15 years ago I was playing DOTA on what you'd call today a gaming laptop (HP HDX9200) which would occasionally overheat causing BSOD and everytime it happened it was hail mary, because the boot time took around 5 minutes and it was the exact time for servers to flag me as leaver and ban me from future games.

These days I have two main machines which boot to Windows in about a minute.

Somehow I remember my old 486 machine was able to boot to DOS within the snap of a power button.
