Aviod placing huge files and folders on the desktop, My Documents and 'C' drive (Assuming its your installed OS' drive). Do a registry scan with say IObit Advanced system care free version and remove all types unwanted and junk files from your PC.
If this doent help, then try installing a fresh copy of your O/S.

BMG ftw!!
Possibilities are:

1. Boot drive is fragmented.
2. HDD sectors are corrupted.
3. HDD can't spin freely.
4. RAM module(s) is(are) not fitted in their respective slot(s) correctly. <most prolly>

WELL, probably the dealer from where you bought the PC has installed cr@p bloated software that collectively run in boot up


Do this-

The System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe) provides an intuitive interface for disabling startup items that are otherwise only accessible through the registry (i.e., there is no shortcut in the Startup folder in the Start menu). If you are not familiar or are uncomfortable with registry editing, use this utility.

To launch the System Configuration Utility:

In Windows 7 or Vista, in the Start menu, enter msconfig in the search field.

In other versions of Windows, from the Start menu, select Run... . Type msconfig and click OK.
Click the Startup tab.

Uncheck the items you do not want to launch on startup.

Note: It may take some time to identify which items to check and which to uncheck. Some items will be easy to identify (e.g., Microsoft Office), some may be slightly confusing (e.g., realsched), and some will be cryptic (e.g., 000StTHK or QFSSCHD110). If you cannot determine what an entry is (and therefore whether you should uncheck it or not), you may want to use a search engine to research the individual entry. Keep in mind there are some entries that you should avoid unchecking (e.g., virus scanners).
When you have finished making your selections, click OK.

In the box that appears, click Restart to restart your computer.
Click to expand...

Whoops sorry missed it


anyways here are a few links of help-
Speed Up Boot and Shutdown Times

and Google Search-

how to speed up boot - Google Search






also please post a list or screen shot of programs that are initiated at start up.



BTW, I have noticed a problem in XP that if LAN is connected before the PC is booted, there is some lag.
Even in my own laptop that runs XP, when I keep ADSL LAN cable plugged on boot there is a lag (HUGE lag) in start up before I can do anything.
So this too might be your problem

I think your system is loaded with invalid Registry files and temp files. Install CCleaner, it is a free tool and can be downloaded for Filehippo.com. Then run cleaner and Registry cleaner to delete all those invalid entries. Also under tool menu use the startup option to disable the applications you don't want at startup. It is advised to keep only the most required applications like antivirus/antispyware, Gfx driver etc in Startup. Remove the other entries.
Also De fragmentation is also avised.

I faced this types of slowdown due to bad sectors in HDD _ scan your HDD with HDTune and see if you find any bad sectors - fix those.

If there's no bad sectors - one solution is to format the OS install drive and install a fresh copy of the OS - download and install all the latest updates for the OS and install all the latest drivers available ;-)
