Every time I've started up my computer for the past 3 weeks I get a small 2 minute window of activity then everything freezes and after half a minute returns to normal activity.

Does anybody know what this could be?

Thanks for your time!
 
Do you have a lot of applications/programs running on start up?
These could be causing the machine to freeze for a short while, whilst they load.

Running msconfig, should let you know what's running on start-up.
 
also when you turn on your computer start task manager and you could see if the cpu usage goes up my a vast amount and see if you can narrow the problem down that way
 
Windows 8 by any chance?
Call up task list at start-up and watch, is it related to the antimalware?
Do you use third party AV or built in?
 
During the freeze try and ctrl alt del to task manager and look at your processes if one is still showing as 'starting' try changing it to delayed start and that should sort it. Had this for months until i found the above.
