Default Windows take more that 30 minutes to start up.. What is the most possible factors?

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem here. This case happen to my computer a few times ago. It happen like this:

Switch On computer,
Acer logo appears 1st on the screen,
Screen goes black out for the 1st 10 minutes or more,
A grey coloured bar appear at the bottom of the screen (It's like a % bar),
Waited for 30 minutes or more,
Once % bar reach 50%,
Windows starts...

What i did before is that i uninstall Limewire on my comp and defrag it.. and then restart...

What i did this morning is i uninstall LimeWire but not UTorrent (I start to use UT few weeks ago)...

Hello SkylineRemix,

It would be helpful if you can tell us what your system specifications are.

BTW, it could be Windows XP looking for the network. Try removing the LAN cable during boot up and see if it helps.

Yup, that's what I would recommend too. I'm really thinking network right now.
