Check the system events, my nForce mobo has given me the same grief, basically no disk activity for like 2 minutes, was down to the nVidia disk drivers, I removed them and let the stock Microsoft ones install instead and bye bye boot problem.

In the system events I had errors related to the disk at the time of boot.
