Hi, I have a problem where my computer boots very slowly, but only the first time through when I turn it on in the morning. My specs are: 3700 @ 2.8, 7900gt, 2gb corsair xms ram, asus a8n-sli mb, a couple optical drives, a maxtor 200gb ide hd, and my boot hd is a new raptor 74gb. It will take several minutes of the black Windows loading screen before it actually goes into Windows, and often times I will get impatient and reset the computer. When I reset it it boots just fine; the blue bar on the load screen only goes by maybe two or three times. Also, I just saw the article posted on the ocp homepage about increasing boot-up times and I did the prefetch thing, which seemed to work, but then when I booted up this morning it still stalled. Any ideas?
