Slow bootup!

Hey guys

To start off, my specs are:
Gigabyte MA770-UD3
AMD Phenom II X4 940
6gb 800mhz ram
8600 GT XXX Zalman Fanksink
640 Western Digital 7200 RPM

I got Vista ultimate x64 2 days ago
After I updated vista today, my boot time has drastically increased
(60-75s).
I have done all the tweaks, disabled useless services etc.

I don't understand why, I'm expecting around 30-40s boot time with my
CPU and memory =/

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You might need to clear up a couple items for anyone who can help you.

Did you install it then? What was running before that install?

What do you mean by "updated vista"? Do you mean that you installed
all the necessary updates, including SP1?

You don't update Vista from 32 bit to 64 bit. You perform a clean install.
The very first thing you do after the clean install is install the requisite
motherboard drivers from the M/B manufacturer.

Is this how you "updated"?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I installed a clean version of Vista
ultimate x64 SP1, and then a day later I proceeded to use windows update
to update things.

Did you update your drivers?

Did you install EVERY Vista update?

Yes I updated my drivers.
I didn't install all of them - I installed most of the security updates
etc.

If needed, I can post pictures of my services etc.

After a BSOD (blue screen of death) my system seems to work very slowly.
How can I find put why the blue screen appears or can anyone tell me
what measures should I take in order to verify my system after such blue
screens?

You need to fully update your drivers - that means INSTALL them - and
get them from the manufacturer's website, NOT from Windows Update, and
you need to fully install all the available updates from WU.

You are hijacking someone else's thread. This one is about a
completely different problem.
