New U2410 - Causing slow windows 7 boot up.

Question

I recently purchased a u2410 which has somehow caused windows 7 to stall for a couple of minutes upon boot up (stalls at the point of the starting windows screen). My boot time has gone from around 25 seconds to about 2 and a half minutes.  When i plug in my old 22 inch dell monitor my boot time goes back to around 25 seconds.  I am at abit of a loss for what the cause of the issue is and have updated the drivers on all my components.  As far as i can tell system performance is unaffected post boot up. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. My system specs are as follows Processor: AMD Phenom II 955BE MB: GA 785 GTUD3H Ram: 4gb Kingston 1333 Vid Card: GB ATI Radeon 5770 HDD: 64gb G-skills falcon 2, 1tb seagate

* To what ports on the PC and video card is the U2410 connected?* What USB devices are plugged into the U2410?

I am connecting via DVI/display port cable.  I haven't plugged any usb devices into the u2410.

Test DVI to DVI.

I am having the same issue - my system has slowed down considerably since connecting the monitor, but I have an Inspiron 530S which doesn't have the DVI connection (as far as I can see). I updated the driver for the Radeon 2400 card and have 4GB RAM, Windows 7. Apart from the slow speed the display isn't as good as I'd hoped when I bought the monitor (is this because I am using the VGA connection)??

Many thanks

* Power the PC and monitor off* The USB mouse and keyboard should be plugged into USB ports on the PC, not the monitor* Disconnect all other USB devices from the monitor* Remove any Media Cards from the monitor Media Card Reader (if your monitor has one)* Power on the monitor, then the PC* Time the boot If still slow, disconnect the monitor USB uplink cable from the PC. Restart and time the boot.
