Have you tried launching msconfig and selecting "selective start up"? You can disable some or all programs that auto-loads. It's a easy way to identify which program is causing the delay if it's software related. Once the program is identified you can select normal start up. It's a neat little diagnostic tool.

About 30-45 Seconds from power to play, I also have a dedicated ADK DAW that has never been on line since I bought it.

Have a look and better yet back-up your registry and see how big of a file it is. That usually plays a pretty big role in boot time.

Takes about 30 seconds to start my machine, about 1.5 starting Sonar 8.
