Hello.
Try these first:
Run a full virus/spyware scan including rootkit.
If this finds nothing then if you have a disc run a repair install.
If you do find anything, post your findings here first.
It sounds like a corrupted boot sector and the time delay maybe the pc trying to find the file/s that it needs to continue booting.
Please post back if you need any assisstance with the procedures above.
Thanks.
Martin
