Newly occuring boot problem

[Jackaby]

So last night, Steam was crashing rather consistently so I decided to restart my PC - being lazy I pressed the restart button on the case as it always restarts quicker than doing it manually.

As per usual I went to "Start windows normally", but it hung at that screen for a few minutes...so I restarted again...same thing. So I did a third restart and did the windows repair which worked. PC restarted itself, and then came to starting windows again and it just hung - I decided to go and make a cup of tea and see if it had loaded by the time I came back.

This time round, it had booted into windows, but must have been a good 5 mins or so...my usual boot speed before this was about 12-14 seconds or so.

I have NO idea what's going on, and the PC seems totally normal once I'm on it...just the booting that's changed, and help would be GREATLY appreciated.

ok for a start, stop restarting your computer like that, it will damage files and cause you problems, don't be lazy restart it proper (i have had to drill this into my daughter who also likes to use the reset button)

When your in windows goto start/run type in cmd and open it with admin privs then type in sfc /scannow hit enter and let it check to make sure all files are ok.

Yeah, certainly wont be restarting like that again. I did the sfc /scannow and it repaired a file, restarted, but the boot still took about 3 minutes. However I'm sure it can't be broken. Otherwise it wouldn't boot atall?

EDIT: Even just tried a restore - still have **** poor boot speed.
