I will start with my specs.
Motherboard, Cpu, Ram, SSD (Using Intel Smart Response)......Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
Power Supply
Hdd with OS... not really sure the specs on it, i got it out of my dads pc from a while ago, it is sata, 80gb.
OS....Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
GPU (yes i know it's old and not all that great, but i play like wow, and civ 5 so not much is needed)
Case is actually just my fiancees old compaq presario or something that i cut a bit to get the psu in and added a fan up from.
I think that's about it
Ok so now the problem. I have really long boot times, 5mins +. I have looked online and seen to use event finder. Well the problem with that is it starts from the windows logo and goes from there. My boot freezing actually happens right before that at a black screen with a blinking cursor and it just sits there for about 2-3 minutes. It then shows the windows logo screen except the logo doesn't start to appear for about 2-3 minutes. Once the logo appears its off to the races and everything is fine and dandy. This only happens with a cold boot, it doesn't happen with a restart. Well i don't restart it much. Usually just turn it off when i'm done and turn it back on when i want to use it. So it may be turned on like 2 maybe 3 times a day for maybe a total of 3 hours on time. Any changes in the bios will make my computer boot fine for the first boot then after it will take forever again. I'm thinking maybe because it's more like a restart. I thought this was due to a very low psu max rating at 160W, yes im aware i'm lucky i didn't fry anything, or maybe i did and that's what's wrong. That is why i have the 700W psu now and the fact i got it for 63% off...lol. What else....It doesn't boot this slow every single time I cold boot it, just most of the time. If there is any more info i need to give please let me know or if there are any suggests i could really use them. I am a little tech savy but not like hugely as this is about the 3rd pc i have built for friend or family, first for me and of course this is the one with issues... Thanks guys.
