While your at it..
Right click on my computer and then click on Manage
Click on the Arrow next to Event Viewer
Click on the arrow next to Windows Logs
Check for errors related to hardware in Application and in System

of the System Specs in your profile, which machine is this?

There is a built in Windows Memory test.
click start and then Help and Support
Type in Memory Test ‌

Another test is to check the hard drive for errors. This could take some time and it is best to not try and stop it if you run it.
Right click on the C: Get Properties
Tools Tab
Check Now button
Make sure both options are selected and Start
It will tell you it will begin after the next reboot
Reboot the machine
WARNING: Depending on the size of the drive, this could take a couple of hours

Okay, no errors or even warnings in the eventlogs. It's doing the memory test right now.

Tnx for your extensive support! REAALLLY appriciate it!

Mem test finished without any problems. Now going to test the hdd.
Okay, that's finished too. No errors at all.

If the trakt stuf has been resolved... could that add some gains?

And you were speaking about internet connection issues.. how do you tell? Becasue immideately i've got live feeds from RSS..

I'm indeed seeing: LastFM radio requires internet, but this even comes in the log when i disable lastfm. If I search the web i only find http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/User:jameson_uk/Last.FM_Changes

I've said this few times, if you really want to pinpoint where the issue is, you should really, I mean really, first test without all 3rd party plugins.

a) If the problem is still there then we can take a better look at the logs
b) If not enable one 3rd party plugin at a time to pinpoint the problematic plugin

These are very simple steps to try

I am running out of ideas...
do this
Start
All Programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Information

Save the file, and upload it here.
Maybe we will see a program or IRQ failure.

Sorry but I really don't think this is anyhow related to hardware issues

 

[mhoogenbosch]

I think its much easier. Ive switched to 'default wide'. And instantly it starts in 12 seconds.[DOUBLEPOST=1389393998][/DOUBLEPOST]

We've already tried that, and indeed without the plugins it starts in 9 seconds. This is with the titan skin. With plugins it's 24 seconds with titan skin.

Next try with Titan and disable ALL MP plugins. Also go to Titan Updater plugin and disable all automatic update / update check stuff

 

[mhoogenbosch]

With 'default' titan skin its 17 seconds
With 'defaultWide' skin its 12 seconds
With 'Aqua8' titan skin its 24 seconds

Ignore this for now, i'm gogin to do the test from @seco

Okay. Titan Skin default theme

Debug mode, so everything disabled. 6 seconds
All plugins enabled but disabled titan updater. 17 seconds

DefaultWide skin:

Debug mode, so everything disabled. .. uuhh debug mode reverts to titan
All plugins enabled 11 seconds

Titan skin with aqua8 theme. 24 seconds
Titan skin with aqua8 theme with all plugins disabled 11 seconds.

Maybe a reference will help
Mine takes just about 10 seconds (seems faster..... )
I think Titan shows up before its actually fully loaded.

Which skin are you using, or rather which theme?
