Ive just moved my computer out of it's old case into a newer (it's easier on the eyes) and since the move windows doesn't seem to be loading as fast. The computer sits at the windows xp logo for awhile then goes black for a few minutes and then brings me to the login screen, does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it

Disconnect any usb drives from your conputer while it is booting. Scan for virus's and spyware. If that does not work reinstall windows.

Could this be a point , too?
You should look out for your PCI-cards not neighboring. Use slot 1, 3, 5, 7.
Start using the others when these are filled not before.
It can solve boot errors.

I appreciate anyone who knows better to tell me! I don't wanna talk crap in here. :whistle:

Are you absolutely sure you connected everything the _exact_ same way as before?

Unplug your machine and check all the connections, extension cards and so on. Make sure they are properly connected.

Did this help?

If not, enter the BIOS menu and see if it hasn't accidentally reset. This would reset your BIOS settings to factory defaults, in other words the safest but also slowest settings. Happened to me in the past... can put a serious degrade on your machine's speed.
