When I switch on my PC, it takes around 1.30 minutes to completely boot, which is really long considering my PC config:

Amd FX-8320 with Hyper 212x cpu cooler
2*4gb 1600mhz Corsair xms ram
galaxy nvidia gtx 650ti boost
corsair cx500 psu
Asus M5A97 Evo R2.0

I had installed WIndows 8.1 64 bit earlier and there was a long pause when the windows logo disappears and the lock screen. I thought it might be certain bug, so I reinstalled Windows 8.1 but the problem persisted.

Then, I completely formatted the HDD and reinstalled WIndows, but still it didn't solve the problem. Then I installed Windows 7 SP1, but no use. I then checked the HDD for errors using WD diagnostics tools, but it showed no errors. I checked RAM for errrors using Windows diagnostic tools( mdsched.exe ), but that too was ok.

I seriously dont understand what the problem is right now. I'm frustrated and any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I checked the Event logs, and there is a lot of boot performance monitoring errors(100) and one such error read there was problem with background prefetch.

After the logo, ther's a black screen and all I can see is the cursor. The cursor disappeared when I clicked and then after a while the screen to enter the password appeared. :(

Maybe Windows is corrupted then. Boot into Safe Mode (F8 per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7) and try a Computer Repair. If that doesn't work, then try a Last Known Good Configuration (System Restore). If that doesn't work, then re-install Windows (back up data first).
