Hi all,
I have an old HP Pavillion dv4 laptop. Just 3- 4 days back I started noticing that my system was taking too long to boot. I tried disabling all unnecessary programs form "msconfig" but no improvement. Then, I unchecked all programs from startup still no change. :(

Then on I observed the boot and found out that my system loaded till the "Start Screen" aka. "starting Win 7" but after that for about 1.5 mins the screen remains black with just a pointer. After that, the system gets completely open.

Can anyone please help me out ?

Thanks :)
 
Solution
Try running CCleaner. It might be registry errors, junk files, or software conflicts: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

You might also want to update your virus pgm. and then run a full scan to be sure no virus has taken over. Same goes for malware. Run Malwarebytes to get rid of any of that resource-hogging crap: https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/
