Hi!
I thought my computer was slow at times, not overly slow just slower than it should be.. running an ssd. Startups were fine and everything. Anyways, i bought a new graphic card, installed it successfully, and about 1-2 days later i decided it was time to format my PC.

So i formated my pc, completely emptying both my HDD and SSD harddrives. Installed windows 7 on my SSD. First few bootups were slow, but i figured it was cause all of the new drivers and windows updates and all of that slowing it down.

Now i've installed every single driver to all my components (That i can think of) All the windows updates and i got all the essential programs like... adobe shockwave and all of those things.

However it's still starting slowly... It takes (And i'm not exaggerating now) about 5 minutes to start it and about 3-5 to shut it down.

If i start it in safe mode it goes in like 5seconds, and just as quick to turn it off in safe mode.

Any ideas what i should do?
(I went into MSconfig and disabled all startup programs except the bare essentials.)


*Edit* Forgot to include my specs!
Nvidia GTX 970
Intel i5-3570k 3.40 GHz (Not overclocked)
SSD harddrive 180gb (Running windows 7 on this)
HDD harddrive 600gb (Just for storage)
16gb ram
ASrock Z77 Pro3 (intel Z77)
Anything i forgot?

Thanks!

Is there any way to check if the ssd is the issue without reformating? Considering it worked normally before i formated. I find it hard to believe it broke from just formating but then again, i'm no expert on computer parts.


*Edit* Actually i think i might be on to something.
Look at this picture http://i.imgur.com/xckvKG5.png
In the bottom right you see both my harddrives shows up.. before i formated my harddrives didn't show up there, the only thing that showed up there was like USB sticks so you could click "safe removal".

Could this somehow be a clue as to why it's slow?
Before i formated they didn't show up there, now it's constantly there as if they're not truly part of the comp? :S
