I'm strictly a novice, but.....

Delete one of the 'doubled' dvd drives using device manager.

You may have to remove sound card and drivers, and start all over

If you are not using ethernet or anything requiring the sm bus, just
'disable' them.
I read in a tweak somewhere that this speeds up booting in that the system
does
not search for the drivers.
