There are a huge number of reasons why this can happen. Here's a harmless method you can use to narrow down which one is doing it.
1. when your computer starts up (windows 2k, XP, Vista) press CTRL+ALT+DEL and open the task manager. click on the process list and note any particular process that remains at high cpu usage for more than 30 seconds. (if the process is SVChost we need to fix windows updates)
2. fron the task manager click File and start a new task. type in "msconfig" and press ok.
go to the startup tab and uncheck all of the items. then go to the services tab and check the box "hide all microsoft services" then uncheck all the remaining items (leave all microsoft services untouched)
3. restart the computer.
4. msconfig should automatically open back up with a diagnostic startup box. reenable 1 item from step 2 and restart the computer. repeat this process until you find the culprit.
5. once you've found the problem startup item, go back into msconfig, set it back to normal mode (DO NOT LEAVE IT IN DIAGNOSTIC MODE) and uninstall and reinstall the program associated with your item. if you cannot tell, post the name of the item and we'll help you.

Over time, usage of the computer can fragment your disk. I have found that defragging helps speed up my PC.
Also it also depends on all the applications you have installed and those that run on startup. oracle has given you good advice on what to do.
If you want someone to check whats going on here, you could install and run hijack this and post the results here. That dumps all the startup activity.

Well, maybe because your browser and windows system are not compatible, you'd better change your browser or maybe you can try the software tuneup360, which can help you solve all the computer problems.
