Can you access the event logs remotely?

Have you tired letting it boot for a long time, like 40 minutes to see if it
finally finishes booting?

Have you tried booting with the network cable pulled?

These problems are often network related. It sounds like its taking a long
time to find or copy over the GPO.

Cheers,
