Mine did the same thing when I installed McAfee anti-virus. Takes about 4-5
mins to reboot now. Maybe your anti virus is causing the same problem. You
can check your startup items in your Start > Programs > Start up. Maybe
something in there is hogging up your time. Check msconfig also, Start > run
