When Windows is loaded and I am logged in into my desktop, the system gets unresponsive for about 10-15 seconds. During this time, the HDD led indicator at the case is either flashing or on (solid).
I suspect that it's the 1.5TB HDD (which might has some bad sectors), because Windows is on a 60GB SSD (so programs go to the HDD).
I thought that I count try to identify which process or processes have the problem, then block the startup of this program or check what other options I have. How can I do this? It would be good to be able to request from the app to:
- Startup with windows
- create a log file.
System info:
CPU: i7@3.00GHz
RAM: 6GB@1600MHz
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 (60GB)
HDD: WD Green 1,5TB (SATA II)

Yes, you need to use
MSCONFIGClick the start button and type msconfig
Then a Window will open, select the start up tab.
Here you can chose what starts with your machine (and what doesn't) by simply checking/unchecking.
Do read up on this first in case you un-check something you shouldn't.
When you're done, you can restart the machine to see it load (hopefully) quicker.
So, you need to pretty much disable everything. If the problem has gone, then bring in the programs one at a time until you find the one with the issue!
Also, often these things are caused by tasks within Task Scheduler.
It could also be the AV (if you have one)
