Test your hard drive with a diagnostic utility from the hard drive manufacturer's website.
Uninstall your current video drivers and update to the latest version available from the video chipset manufacturer (ATI, nVidia, Intel, etc).
If that doesn't fix it, post back and we'll look deeper.

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all
Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.
Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.
NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.
Same problem?
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all

Thank you, Broni. What you said didn't immediately help, but after messing around in the startup portion of msconfig I managed to somehow fix it.

Cool
Do you remember what exactly you did?

Well, I think it was originally like this, but for some reason when I disabled them all it wouldn't work, but when I went back through after I had logged on again I reenabled them all and just went ahead and restarted to get it back the way it was before I disabled them. I didn't really click enable all, but I clicked Load Startup Items in General which does the same thing, and when I logged back on it only took me a few seconds to get on. I don't really know how it got around to working properly again, but as long as it works.

Another computer mystery

A mystery yet unsolved, it would seem. It was working, and it has for 5+ times, but when I logged on this evening it was logging on slow again. This is really starting to get on my nerves. :\ What on Earth could be wrong?
