This is taking the mick now with boot times hitting th 10min mark. i have no spyware or adware or viruses.

My system is 2gb ddr 2 pc-8500 ram
600W PSU
INtel core 2 duo Q6600 OCd slightly

I have no idea why, i dont have many startup programs and its only happened lately.

i have suspicions on the HDD (300GB SATA2)

Any help would be great!

P.S. No retards saying install XP etc trying to be smart and all knowing....

reinstall. or switch to XP
so, srsly, reinstall your OS. And defrag+clean up your HD.

I like pie.

probably the HDD or RAM im guessing

I have Vista 64 bit Ultimate with about 3-5 startup programs... and it takes about 30 seconds or less to boot from completely off

Is it a legal version?

Disable all your startup programs in msconfig and in the startup folder, see if it improves. If it does, then it is something that's starting up with windows.
