My Vista Ultimate x64 machine is experiencing very slow startups but only
part of the actual startup process is slow. The BIOS information screen
clears and the green progress bar goes through the motions and then it
happens... the Big Black Void. This is the period between the green
progress bar and the giant orb and login screen appearing and sometimes
lasts 15 minutes. During this time the screen is completely black and
absolutely nothing appears to happen. It can be as quick as 5 minutes but
averages about 8 minutes. When Vista finally starts, everything seems to
run at the correct speed.
What is causing the Big Black Void? The machine has 2 x 15K RPM U320 SCSI
HDDs, 4GB RAM and a nVidia 8800GTX GPU so it's no slouch.

And loving it,
