windows startup very sluggish

[epiccoder1]

hello, my computer (intel core i5 3450, 4 hdds, 8gb ddr3 1333mhz ram, asus p8h67-m motherboard) is getting very slow on the startup. to add to that, when i boot up it takes about ten more minutes to load the desktop and taskbar. plz help. overall boot and sign in time is about 15 minutes

I'd look at the cryptic system event error log and look for entries flagged ERROR. The event viewer is in the Administrative Tools applet of the Control Panel.
