It depends on what Operating System (The thing that makes your computer work) you have installed. If you have Windows XP then on a new install it should take at most a minute, vista should take at most 2 minutes with a clean install, windows 7 takes about 30-45 seconds on a clean install. If you have Ubuntu 9.10 then it takes about 15-20 seconds. If you are using a mac it should boot up within 15 seconds

It varies greatly - depending on your set-up. The CPU speed, RAM speed and number start-up programs all play a part in determining how quickly the computer is prepared and ready for you to use. The more programs you want loading into RAM at start-up - the longer the machine will take to be ready.

It depends what kind of computer you have. Just give it time, and if it takes it 10 minutes to load, try to restart it, or see a computer specialist about it.
