Slow Windows 7 Start up before Login
Recently my computer has started to hang up after post but before the log in screen for windows 7. It hangs up on the starting Windows GUI. I have that disabled so its just a black screen for me. Usually my computer doesn't take long after post to get to log in screen. Now it sits at the starting up part for 30 seconds or more until I get to the log in screen. I not sure what it could be. The things I've done before this happened are:
1.) Updated video driver
2.) Installed BF3
3.) Defragged the 1TB Western Digital Storage HD.
I reverted my video driver back to the previous and the problem remains.
I uninstalled my anti virus and the problem still remained. I'm not sure what else it could be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: If I take out the Western Digital HD, the hang up does not occur.
