Extreme Pro Slow W7 Boot Times

[Honestly3k]

Hi guys,

Recently bought a Sandisk Extreme Pro 480gb SSD for my pc.
I did a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit onto this drive, I have a few utility programs installed such as CCleaner, Hardware Monitor, CPU ID etc
I also have two games installed, including Titanfall.

Is it normal for this SSD (supposedly among the fastest on the SATA3 market to take so long to boot into windows? It takes about 35 seconds, I used to use an OCZ Vertex2 on SATA2 and while I didn't time this I am sure it was faster.

The BIOS is set to AHCI mode with the Asus ROG Logo screen disabled on boot up, the Sandisk SSD has the latest Firmware installed. I have it in the Intel controlled SATA6gbps port. I have run benchmarks on AS SSD on it and everything appears normal-

SEQ: Read 524mb Write 492mb
4K: Read 35mb Write 115mb
4K-64Thrd: Read 342mb Write 253mb
Acc.Time: Read 0.067ms Write 0.034ms

The full spec of my pc is:
i7 3770k
480gb Sandisk Extreme Pro as main OS, 2 games and some apps (about 80gb full)
1tb Samsung spinpoint as data (movies, its about 900gb full)
120gb OCZ Vertex 2 (empty)
16gb Corsair Vengence ddr3
Radeon 7950 3gb GPU
Corsair 750w PSU
Asus Maximus V Formula Z77 motherboard


Is there anything anyone can think of as to why its booting takes so long?

Thanks

Hi boot in safe mode and goto beepingcomputer.com and run adwcleaner and roguekiller to rule out malware.

The last time I got slow booting problem was because I had a mouse scanner plugged in.

Try unplugging all usb except keyboard mouse to see if it helps.

Thanks dextermat, it would seem that my mechanical storage drive is adding about 20 seconds to the boot times, after doing another fresh install last night on the Sandisk it boots in abour 17 seconds without the mechanical drive connected.
