Default Slow Start Up

Start with the computer off. Push the power button to start it. The computer
we're working on takes about 12 to 15 minutes to get to the desktop. After
that point, computer works fine. I cleaned out the programs that run at start
up and completely uninstalled all the antivirus programs. (This fixed the
secondary issue of the computer locking up.) Booting the computer into safe
mode had the same effect on start up. In fact, I think it took longer to boot
up then normal. And once again, when it was in safe mode, everything that was
supposed to worked fine.

I'm down to an FDISK and start from scratch at this point. I was wonding if
anyone else had any better ideas? Or could this be a hardware iss and I'm
wasting my time?
