PC Taking 10-15 minutes to start up?

[grind317]

Hi guys, I have a pc that was starting up just fine, it seems like after a certain critical update, things went sour. I cannot figure out whats wrong with it, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Things ive tried:
Motherboard Diagnostics Test: Passed
Ram Diagnostics Test: Passed
Hard Drive Diagnostics Test: Passed

I was having issues with getting it recognize a 1394 ochi controller, so i installed a new cmos battery, which seems to have done the trick for that.

i also upgraded a video card i was having trouble with, but it didnt help the situation at all.

System Restore to before critical update
Re-installed Windows 7

It wouldn't let me in bios or choose my boot drive for quite sometime, but i finally got into it after changing my cmos battery, and i reset it then.

Unplug everything you don't need and try changing your data cables - it's sounding like a hardware problem outside of the CPU and mobo.

Plus 1 for lephuronn usually this type of issue is hardware!

thanks guys, it was a usb hub that was causing the problem

 

[LePhuronn]

Any time - glad you sorted it.

To add to that...since the USB hub was causing it, you can turn off USB legacy support and see if that helps as well.
