So can enyone help with this?

Hello marneros.

I would suggest looking around in the BIOS and make sure all the settings are optimized for speed.

It may vary by manufacturer but there should be something along the lines of "fast boot" which skips some of those potentially time consuming checks at boot up.

You might also play around and see if there isn't some USB device attached that is bogging down the works.

I have one PC that takes about five minutes to boot when a certain printer is attached and with the printer disconnected it boots like lightning.

I had another at one time that would get slowed right down due to a faulty card reader.

yeah thanks i figured out what it is its my IDE connecter thingo my new one
