That would be it. Where exactly does it hang? Is it when you're in Windows but it's loading, or is it the splash scree, or prior to splash screen? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware M14X OS Windows 8 Professional CPU 3rd gen i7-3720QM Motherboard - Memory 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz Graphics Card nVidia Geforce GT 650M 2GB GDDR5 Sound Card Klipsch audio Monitor(s) Displays 14.0" Screen Resolution High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight Keyboard 4-Zone, multi-color RGB, 82 key keyboard with AlienFX.

MSCONFIG shows only a small subset of your startup items: use "autoruns" instead, but be careful what you shut off.
Three minutes means you have a problem and an SSD won't make much difference unless your HD is hosed - defragment it for a slight improvement.
Though I haven't used it in a while, there is software that will chart your boot process and show you where it's wasting time (like Soluto Analyzes Windows Startup to Give You a Faster Computer ? - I haven't used this particular one). There's also a primitive, overly complicated way (the MS way!) to do something similar with event viewer: Event view boot time | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number eMachines ET1831-7 OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz Motherboard EMCP73VT-PM Memory 4096M Graphics Card nVidia 8400GS Sound Card built-in Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Acer 20" Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Hard Drives Seagate ST3750528AS ATA 500G Other Info Dual-boot with Linux.
