I checked my Event Viewer, and every single entry is either critical,
error, or warning. I get critical when windows starts up or shuts down,
and errors when it goes into standby. I checked some of the entries for
warning, and one said "LogonUI.exe responded slower than expected."

Any ideas on what could potentially fix this?

All help is appreciated, cause when I start windows after turning it
off, it takes about 3 min to start Windows Explorer and the desktop.
I've been looking for a while, and I haven't really found a solution
that worked. It's incredibly frustrating, particularly after installing
something that needs to reboot.

I'm pretty sure it's not my hardwa Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, ATI
Radeon HD 3870 X2, ASUS Maximus Formula, 4GB GSkill RAM, Sythe Katana 2
cooling on CPU.
