This has been happening awhile now. After my pc boots back up it takes a good 2-3 minutes for anything to respond. If I try to get on a browser the window remains white for some time before it loads. When I click a program it's very slow to start. Once the 2-3 minutes have passed everything is good as new. Should I reformat? There aren't any virus' etc. here.
Thanks
Run the Windows Performance Toolkit, read about it here.
Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace
This should assist in finding what is slowing your startup. A normal system should boot up in 30-60 seconds
The problem could be inferior Factory Preinstalled Win7 with all of the bloatware and duplicate utiltiies which have better versions built into Win7. These throttle Win7 from its native performance and can cause problems.
That's why most tech enthusiasts will not run such an install but instead Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything is provided in the blue link tutorial.
At the minimum I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
If this doesn't resolve performance problems, work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 including hardware tests.
Could also do a clean startup to try and determine what program(s) are the issue.
