Go to MSCONFIG and use Minimal Startup.  Restart. Any faster?

Is it stalling trying to find Network or Domain?  Maybe try updating the Network card driver.


Is it connected wirelessly trying to find the Domain?

does it boot ok in safe mode?
Yes it does...I am going to go msconfig in safe mode next
Once that is done, enable start processes you think may not be an issue and test.  

Work that way to narrow down what the issue is.  

Network, firewall, connection …
also look in event viewer, and device manager - no errors?
