How does the machine respond while in the clean boot?

I'll try it when I get home later on and let you know how it goes. Should i take a note of which non-microsoft services i disable if i need to re-enable them?

At this point they are all enabled so disable all no need to note anything.

You will need to re-enable them one at a time and reboot the machine to find the offending service if that is indeed the issue.

[kingtaz]

Ah okay then thats makes sense. I'll let you know how i get on

very little differnce when doing clean boot. stayed on splash logo for 2:08 so a 7 second decrease.

In startup i only had 2 items to disable and in non-microsoft services i had only 3 to disable

[rockmilk]

Open an elevated command prompt and type:

chkdsk /r

Hit enter and reply y when prompted then reboot your machine.

A checkdisk will execute allow completion and inform us of the boot time after the check disk.

Hey

I ran chkdsk and the first time it said 'disk is clean' or something along those lines upon restart and then it was slightly quicker than before but again, nothing special. I ran chkdsk overnight as that time it actually checked stuff but i couldnt see just how long it took to reboot but I did run it this morning agan and cancel it, and the boot time after pressing cancel was 2:30 if that is any indication

[kingtaz]

anything else i can do?

Sorry to but in guys, I have noticed you have got µTorrent (Version: 3.3.2.30260) installed. If you use this to download dodgy software, films, games ect then there is a chance you have downloaded something dubious, you might want to run your Avasts boot time scan and post a log in the malware section as per there requirements, that's if I'm correct in assuming the computer has not always run like this?

[rockmilk]

Might be worth having your machine checked for malware before we proceed.
Once given a clean bill of health please come back to this thread and I will be happy to assist further.

[kingtaz]

Okay thanks. sorry for late reply, no internet at home so just getting round to this now. i'll post in the malware section, and post back here if i get a clean bill of health.

Thanks
