PC Takes Forever to Boot Programs

Seeking some help I'm having with my PC. I recently reformatted to start fresh after upgrading a few parts, including adding a new SSD. Everything works great, PC boots up quickly and everything. The only issue I have is that it takes literally 3-5 minutes to load anything for the first time when I start up, including something as simple as Chrome. It will continue loading for about 3-5 minutes and then load up pages quickly. As soon as I turn my PC on, if I quickly open a program up right away, it will load fine but will have the issue I'm talking about after start-up.

Is this an issue with my newly installed SSD? My boot order? RAM? I'm completely lost and have just been living with the issue for a while now. I've already checked my background programs and that doesn't seem to be an issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When you did the clean install you did remember to install the drivers form the manufacture starting with the chipset first?

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

If a desktop include the make and model of the power supply unit.

Saving Speccy snapshots

Saving Speccy snapshots: In Speccy, a 'snapshot' is a set of information about your computer system taken at one point in time. Much like a photograph, you can take a snapshot of your PC in Speccy ...

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

I'm just now seeing this!
PSU: Corsair CX650M 650 Watt Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply

I'm fairly certain all of my drivers are up to date... Not sure though...

Here's my snapshot. http://speccy.piriform.com/results/GXr2lcjOfO8ueCjZag6l3lH

Anything you see that is concerning? At first glance it doesn't appear that there's any apparent issues. Thank you so much in advance.

How did you preform the clean install?

Will be a bit as I go through the speccy report

I originally tried switching my OS to my new Seagate SSD and messed up a bunch of stuff in the process, making my PC unusable when booted. I couldn't even open control panel. I completely messed up when switching files, oops. Because of this I ended up having to clean install the PC using the recovery environment during the boot.

After reformatting, like explained before, everything on my pc *works*, it just takes 5 minutes to load up anything for the first time, which is very frustrating.

Several things we can try.
This may fix some of the issues that you are seeing.

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

Describes how to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

When I am preforming fresh install onto a new drive I always have the install drive the only one connected to prevent install issues.

Here are some of the basic steps I do.
Install windows test it out
Install Drivers test it out
Install updates test it out
Install personal software test it out.

How does it run if you disconnect the other drives and just use the windows.

Where did you get the Drivers for the system from?

I just tried that system checker. I’ll have to restart my PC and see if that fixed my problem after I finish some work.

I got my drivers by visiting the suppliers’ websites. Intel for my CPU, NVidia for my GPU, Seagate for my new SSD, etc.

If this system checker didn’t work, I may try wiping my PC one last time keeping only my SATA installed like you suggested.

I’ve replaced the PSU, Ram, GPU and then added the SSD. I never had issues until I added the SSD and then attempted (and failed) to switch it to my boot drive. Then I reformatted to start fresh and am having my current issue now.

Thanks for the advice on downloading directly through Dell.
