Whens the last time you defraged?

Is DMA mode enabled for your hard drives?

Something simple - try removing the network cable and booting to see if it makes a difference...

I've done adware check + 3 or 4 virus checks I've done an error check defraged DMA is enabled if available Im getting annoyed don't know what to do I don't want to re-format

Use msconfig and disable some services. Some might be laggin on you.

Has your CPU been underclocked or receiving insufficient cooling? Intel CPUs will slow down if they get too hot, which can happen if the heatsink is not contacting the processor's surface adequately.

I think either RegMon and/or FileMon can be configured to start running early in the boot sequence. You can get these programs from www.sysinternals.com.
