I recently reinstalled windows due to the last install been a mess with stuff all over the place and taking ages to do things.

Well this new install has created a new problem.

The PC boots up fine gets to the windows desktop - sits there for about 5 mins then starts loading the startup progs (ie msn, av etc).

Ive tried tracking it down to what might be causing the problem and so far:

I have used the Bootvis tool - it shows half of the start up progs loading then a massive 5 min gape till the rest load up

Disabled all start up progs - still the same - some start up 5 min gap till other things start to load up.

I checked the Event Viewer log, and the last thing to load before the 5 min delay (its always the same 4-5 min delay), the last thing to load is is the yukonwxp service - at first i thought it was a virus or someting, checking google it is the drivers for the onboard lan the my gigabyte mobo.

The only reason i can think that it is this casuing it is - yukonwxp is the last entry in the log before the 5 min delay then everything else has the XXX was sent a start control.

I have the latest drivers for the onboard LAN - and from that Event log with it been the last thing to load before the delay that is all i can think of that is causing it.

Anyone else know of anything else i can try, ive tried updating the bios for the board, disabling start up progs etc.

But still i have this 5 min delay before the drive kicks ina load everything (this is the first time this has happened after a few installs (new system build last year)
 
its deffo the lan/lan drivers causing it.

Disable onboard lan via the bios - all progs etc boot straightway.

Uninstal the drivers - all progs load as the should on startup

Tried reinstalling he latest drvers from the GB website and i end up at the same 5 min delay problem.

I've never had this prob before with past installs so cant understand why all of a sudden with this install the onboard lan/drivers are causing this problem.
