    Check your startup items, go to run and type 'msconfig' and press enter. You can view and edit startup items, see if there is something unwanted.

    Have you installed any new software recently? Especially anti-virus? Its service can cause this. Try disabling the service with msconfig itself to see if there is a difference.

    If these doesn't help, it might be your HDD complaint, use diagnostic tools from your HDD vendor or HDAT2 to diagnose your HDD.
