Hey all!

As you can guess from the thread name, I have a problem that started happening 2 days ago. I am using a 64 bit version. The boot time is extremely slow, and everything is unresponsive until system "warms up", then everything is running fine as before. Ran Malwarebytes scan, AV scan, Hard Disk sentinel, tried booting up in diagnostic mode, disabled everything at startup and nothing seems to help. I should however tell you that 2 days ago, power supply from monitor was unplugged, and I plugged it back in WHILE I was turning on the PC. But I guess that can't make any problems, like a short circuit or something like that? Hope that this will resolve quickly, thanks in advance!

Also, these are the details from the Event Viewer log, if they can help anyhow. Note that some of the drivers couldn't load:

Solution
And after hours and hours of trying different things, I came across the info that AVG anti-virus is making problems with the startup, specifically "Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys". So I uninstalled it completely, and that solved the issue :) Now everything is back to normal.

Thanks for your answers nevertheless!


Which driver exactly? Reinstalling the Windows will probably help, but I would like to avoid it for now and use it as a last resort if possible. Also not sure if it is some hardware issue or software, but I hope it is the second one.
 


The Windows logo and the blank screen before entering the desktop are on the monitor for too long. After that, it takes a lot of time for programs and actions to become responsive (like 10 minutes or so). After this stage, everything runs normal. That's why it confuses me. The startup of the system before this began to happen was under one minute or something like that.
 


As far as I can see, Hard Disk Sentinel says that the health is good.

Edit: However, Crystal Disk says othervise:
