Hey guys. Firstly I apologise if I posted in the wrong section.
On Monday I built my own pc and installed Windows 8.1. I've installed just basic drivers from vendors websites and avast, malwarebytes, some benchmarking utilities and games. I'm getting really sluggish startup speeds, and my pc stops at a black screen after the windows logo but before the logo.
My friends pc boots up within 30 seconds (lower specs than mine), where mines can take a couple of of mins.
What I've tried:
reinstalled video card drivers to see if it stops black screening
Full virus scan
Made startup programs minimal
Checked event viewer for anything peculiar
Fiddled with msconfig settings
I boot in safe mode perfectly fine which suggests it's a program that's causing it, but I've tried a diagnostic boot up from msconfig also to no avail.
A boot log showed my printer drivers acting up and not loading so I uninstall them, and my pc loaded extremely fast for one boot, but after that the usual black screens and slow startup occurred.
I can reinstall but I really want to find out the cause of the issue, as I may run into the same issue.
Any help is appreciated and feel free to ask for any more info.
Thanks
