Boot Time One Hour

After running AVG for, like, five days straight, svchost was using ALL the RAM.

So I go for a reboot.

It hangs on the Starting Windows screen for ten minutes then dumps me into startup repair.

I let that run for a bit and the screen goes dark and the monitors go to sleep, but the drive is clicking like mad.

After about 40 minutes of that, the fans are down to idle speed and the clicking has stopped.

So I hold down the power button to force a shut-down and reboot.

Viola!  All better now!

Windows is so damn random sometimes and some of my problems are likely because it's a Bootcamp installation of it.
