Boot time has increased with no apparent cause

No updates or new applications installed, but recently boot time has about doubled, with the longest stretch during the amber (yellow) monitor light on and blank screen after Windows Starting and before the blue splash screen.

Scanned for malware lately?

Please use this tool to update your profile specs

And then follow manguscreed's advice to post all the files here

sorry guys, I ran both tools, but I couldn't find the .zip output file from the BSOD tool, and the system information tool showed up blank when I ran it manually, and I couldn't get it to work in IE on automatic settings.
One separate question is "Should the amber light/blank screen even be coming up during boot, after "Starting Windows" screen and before the fancy blue splash screen?
Then, I only have three things running in msconfig, USB 3, Kaspersky, and HDAudioCPL. HijackThis and Spybot don't show any malware

I'll give it a go and see how things boot without Kaspersky. thx.
