Hey all .. ok this one got me scratching my head .. have a tower PC which boots up like a proverbial b****. Boots to the "Windows Loading" screen then seems to stall for 2-4 minutes ... then the desktop loads but again takes 2-4 minutes for the icons to appear .

It running Windows Xp home sp3 .

I have used msconfig to turn off all unneccessary programs

Also Run AVG , Malwarebytes and Wise Reg cleaner . All now return clean status's .. but start up still the same .. now run out of ideas so asking you guys (and girls) for any other ideas
 
Backup and do a clean install. Quickest and easily the most pain free solution.

thx Abar .. that was last resort .. just reformatted the pc and its still freezing on loading the GUI .. the background appears but no icons for about 3-4 minutes ... have now also run a hardware scanner but that didnt highlight anything so am really at a loss now as to what to do to resolve this or am i stuck with a duff board
