Computer hangs during startup

I recently added a second hard drive and increased the RAM in my computer (I made sure everything was compatible before buying). Everything was working fine for about a week but now whenever I restart the computer, it just hangs at the Intel desktop screen for 5-10mins before finally loading up Windows. Once loaded, the computer runs perfectly as I have no problems with any files, folders, programs etc but yet this "hang time" happens everytime the cpu is 1st turned on or restarted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
