Taking several minutes before I can use the computer
#1
So here it is, since a few weeks, I have to wait like 3-5 minutes before I can use my computer. It wasn't like this before.

I was thinking it may have to do with some virus. My brother was at a lanparty some weeks ago, just before it started happening. One of those guys had a worm and there was a chance it got to him. After he got home, he connected with the network at home again and so I may have got it as well. I scanned with 2 different programs, they found like 3 things of which 2 were trojan horses I believe. It got removed and all but ever since I've been having this.

Weirdest thing is, if I use my computer before it's "done"(I can start FF or so, only some things don't work), I'll get a blue screen after like 10 minutes.

Any ideas what it might be?

The last time I had a blue screen everytime was because my video card wasn't in right(after I put it in right it stopped, so I just guess that was the reason).

And, he's 20 and those were real life friends he was with. ;)

Well, might just be that you have shitloads of things that starts when starting your computer, WP, IRC, MSN etc.
If you know you don't, just ignore this post :+

Talking with Hitman @ IRC, he said the same. But I don't think I have installed much shortly before it happened. And I disabled some stuff sometime ago.

But I'll look through and turn some stuff of if needed.
