Default Need help about Vista desktop boots slow


When I restarted my computer, the desktop loads extremely slow like 3-4
minutes. I could not do anything but wait. My desktop was not slow
before, and it booted up for like 30 secs or may be less. I don't
really shut my PC down all the time, so I don't know when this started.

Quick story of my OCing(*desktop was already slow*)
I OCed my computer to 3.Ghz. I did some stress test also (*'DESKTOP
PICTURE'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...8Prime95.jpg)*)
pls check the time. Before I went to bed, I put my computer to sleep
mode. When I woke up in the morning, woke my computer up. I saw the
desktop for a few seconds then BSOD(*'PICTURE'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...DSC01273.jpg)*.)
What I did was I went to bios and loaded the default settings(even in
default settings desktop was still slow).
After two days, I tried to OC again. These are the current set up that
I have in the bios now while I am typing this: '*System Clocks*'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...ial/bios1.jpg),
'*FSB & Memory Config*'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...ial/bios2.jpg),
'*CPU Configuration*'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...ial/bios3.jpg),
'*System Voltages.*'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...lial/bios4.jpg)
After I save the settings in the bios, the desktop loaded for like
1:35:95(under 2 minutes) faster than before. So, I restarted it again
just to make sure and it was still under 2 minutes. I did some stress
test ('*DESKTOP PICTURE*'
(http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n...08endtest.jpg))
and system is stabled until now. Last night, I ran the memtest86 for 8
hours(stabled), but when I restarted my computer to see if windows would
load slow, the desktop loaded slow 2-3minutes some times like 4 minutes.
However, when I got to the desktop(every restart), it was fast for like
40 secs and became slow again(3 minutes). Once it got slow, I could not
do anything.
I don't have any clue what's going on on my computer.
I updated my Anti-virus and scanned my computer: no viruses
The start up that I have is Bitdefender, Windows sidebar, APC
powerchute, my mice drivers and keyboard driver (I have these since
before.)

Thank you in advance
