    Long boot time with unresponsiveness for up to 30mins


    Hey all,

    I have tried to figure out why my PC takes such a long time to boot/be ready for use. I have used all the knowledge i have and have come up empty. Here is a description of my problem.

    1. Start PC
    2. Loads within a few mins
    3. Log in
    4. Computer becomes extremely slow and becomes unresponsive, I am unable to open anything even notepad
    5. This generally carries on for up to 30mins sometimes longer.


    This problem occurs from a fresh start-up or hibernate/sleep mode

    My main theories are its either Avast being a CPU hog, or my HDD is on it way out.

    Any suggestions would be great,

    Thanks

    Have you tried safe mode and/or a clean boot to see if the boot time is the same?

Hey, I´ve got Windows 7 up and runnin´for a while now :D, but I am noticing that my boot time is quite long, at least, that how it feels to me. I´ve got a pretty strong laptop, so 80 seconds or even 2 minutes at a certain point to boot up seems strange, right? And this is when I've got almost no...
