Dell Dimesion 5100 - Strating up problem - please help me
Having got my dell computer 5 weeks ago I recently discovered a problem with the starting up, it can sometimes take up to 6-10 mins. I have rang dell on several occassions but with no help, they took my computer back and did a diags check and system check, and returned it even though its not fixed. I have gone to system config and disabled loaded start up items like they said but its still now working, i am pulling my hair out i really need help. Please help me

If you don't have any data on the drive or if you have your data backed up. I would re-load Windows (which ever version you are using). It may not be loaded correctly, which would cause it to "hang" starting up.
Also I would run a full system virus scan, there may be a virus/trojan running behind the scenes at start-up
