Computer loads OS very slowly, but operates as normal afterwards; possibly due to iPod?

Just today, my computer has begun to load its OS's extremely slowly. It POST's fine, and once the OS finally loads, it's business as usual, but it can take five minutes or more just to get the OS itself to load. The problem persists regardless of the OS I'm using. I've made no recent changes to the computer's hardware, and otherwise I doubt any component is causing trouble... however, my parents have an iPod that they just recently plugged into my computer to charge it. Could that be the source of the problem?

I am not sure, but I will share my experience: I had a similar problem in the past, the OS (Windows 7) was really slow at loading, and sometimes not loading at all. Found to be a MP4 generic usb plugged in the back. Maybe is that. Try to unplug it and restart.
