Slow Windows Start Up

[Drift Motion]

hi every1

here is my problem
recently i got a new motherboard, and a graphic card, CPU
after "repairin" my XP Pro, the start up is super slow, the screen where it says "Windows is Starting Up" before you log in
but after i log in, everythin was running normally

and i think one of my 512 ram was screwed up during the installation of the new mobo

my motherboard
Asus P5RD1-VM

Graphic card
i think ATi Radeon X600 series

CPU
Celeron D 2.8 GHz

RAM
512mb PC3200

any ideas?
or any keyword i can use to get answers?
i tried google "slow windows start up"

thanks

Try this HERE

It may however also be a problem with drivers.

Try this and post back.

If what korrupt says doesnt work, try downloading TuneUp Utilities 2006 and run the various things on there, including registry cleaner and defragmenter.

You can get it here...

If nothing else its an incredible, easy to use and handy tool to have and really helps speed up your computer!

the slow im talkin about is not after you log in, the loading time

wat i am talkin about is before that
sorry didnt make that real clear the first time

try everthing everyone else has suggested and also try to stop some auto starting programs

start-run-type msconfig and choose "selective startup" and click the tab that says "startup" and disable any that you dont need. for example "adobe speed reader" is useless, unless you constantly work with PDF files

mike lin's startup editor does it all. I nifty little applet. google it.

you may consider disabling some services like indexing, alerter, messenger, clipbook, etc.
take a look at mycomputer/manage/services and apps/
and see if any of those services that you don't need. then disable them or set them to manual.
also check task manager (ctrl+alt+del)
click the processes tab
click on the cpu column once or twice until a number other than zero shows up first. it should be system idel process with 98 or 99 on cpu anything else is bad news.
also what's the cpu usage at the bottom of task contorl? it should be 5 or 6%.
