Windows Hangs on Splash Screen at boot up

[Guest]

I've been experiencing this problem for a while now- whenever I need to
restart windows or simply boot up, windows takes anywhere between 3 to 8
minutes to boot up. It hangs for almost the whole time at the windows splash
screen. I have tried sos and nogfx boot modes but it hasn't helped me
determine the source of the problem. Any solution would be greatly welcomed
since it makes it extremely inconvient to restart or simply shut my computer
down.

Check your HDD

go to command prompt (using boot CD )

chkdsk /r


Good luck

I've run a chkdsk recently, what will a /r from the boot command do for me
that a normal one wont? I'm planning on a full reformat soon (once I get all
my stuff backed up and find the program disks) but I wanted to make sure this
wasn't a hardware issue.

You could try a Windows repair.
