Autoruns stops un-needed programs from starting that will slow bootup time.
There were a couple that had No File Found errors which means the system spends time looking for something that is not there anymore.

TFC cleans up temp files, internet cache and history which can slow system and internet down.

Defrag straightens the files on the hd up so that the system can access them faster.
Look at it like waking up in the morning and all your clothes are in one place and ready to be put on. You get dressed faster and move on with your day. If you had to look in a closest, a dresser and maybe in another room for your clothes it takes more time to get ready.

I did what you said with the Boot:
1st: CD/DVD: SM-...
2nd: SATA: PM-WDC
3rd: I changed it from Network Realteck to Disabled
However, after restarting my computer, I still get the same 5 minute script in the beginning....

OK in bios look and see if you see a setting somewhere that will say something like.
Boot to or with lan or network
If that is enabled then disable. Make sure you are saving after you change a setting before exiting. If not the changes will not stay.

So was I correct in changing the 3rd one?
I changed it from Network Realteck to Disabled
I press F10 afterwards, and it restarts.

This may be a fan turning at a faster speed causing what sounds like a hissing noise.
I am going to ask another Tech to take a look at this error you are getting and see what they say. .

Also, ever since my PSU and motherboard have been replaced, my speakers do not work. My speakers do not turn on anymore.
It is with RealTek I think... the same RealTek that is in the script in the first 5 minutes that doesnt go away?
Thanks

OK then I need to see what the Audio Properties show as your default audio device.
Go to Start and then to Control Panel
Right click on the Sound or Audio Devices and then click on Properties
At the top of the window click on Audio and what does it say for Default Audio Device?
Click on Playback and same information?

Try resetting the bios to Default
Enter bios as instructed before. On the bottom or in the first window there should be a place that says Set to default click that and the yes at the prompt.
System will reboot and see if sound and script runs then.

If you feel like the system may still be burning then call the technician back out. Better safe then sorry.
