There's a Microsoft utility called bootvis.exe that can log the time it takes for each driver to load, and that might give you a clue. It's no longer on the Microsoft site, but you can download it from:
www.islandcustompc.com/downloads.htm
When you run it, there's a menu item that says something like Next Boot + Driver Delays. Take that option and reboot. Give it time after it boots for the screen to appear. There will be a graphical representation of load times for each driver. That might head you in the right direction.
