Super slow start up (Windows 7)

[sanktas]

Hi!
I thought my computer was slow at times, not overly slow just slower than it should be.. running an ssd. Startups were fine and everything. Anyways, i bought a new graphic card, installed it successfully, and about 1-2 days later i decided it was time to format my PC.

So i formated my pc, completely emptying both my HDD and SSD harddrives. Installed windows 7 on my SSD. First few bootups were slow, but i figured it was cause all of the new drivers and windows updates and all of that slowing it down.

Now i've installed every single driver to all my components (That i can think of) All the windows updates and i got all the essential programs like... adobe shockwave and all of those things.

However it's still starting slowly... It takes (And i'm not exaggerating now) about 5 minutes to start it and about 3-5 to shut it down.

If i start it in safe mode it goes in like 5seconds, and just as quick to turn it off in safe mode.

Any ideas what i should do?
(I went into MSconfig and disabled all startup programs except the bare essentials.)


*Edit* Forgot to include my specs!
Nvidia GTX 970
Intel i5-3570k 3.40 GHz (Not overclocked)
SSD harddrive 180gb (Running windows 7 on this)
HDD harddrive 600gb (Just for storage)
16gb ram
ASrock Z77 Pro3 (intel Z77)
Anything i forgot?

Thanks!

It may just be a faulty ssd, if it doesn't improve I would contact the seller. Or it may not have installed properly so you could try again from the beggining

Is there any way to check if the ssd is the issue without reformating? Considering it worked normally before i formated. I find it hard to believe it broke from just formating but then again, i'm no expert on computer parts.


*Edit* Actually i think i might be on to something.
Look at this picture http://i.imgur.com/xckvKG5.png
In the bottom right you see both my harddrives shows up.. before i formated my harddrives didn't show up there, the only thing that showed up there was like USB sticks so you could click "safe removal".

Could this somehow be a clue as to why it's slow?
Before i formated they didn't show up there, now it's constantly there as if they're not truly part of the comp? :S

Having your SATA drives show up as if they are USB are most unerving.

I got new ssd boot takes 10 sec shutdown 3 sec my guessing is Faulty SSD even if i have 500 startup programs and sheduled tasks it wont ever go upt o 5 minutes.. reinstall windows and if that will not do the trick get a new SSD
