Slow start-up

i have a new laptop and for some reason it sometimes takes a good 5-7 minutes to go from my putting in my user name and password to me being able to finally start a damn program. sometimes it's instant, but every few startups it just sits there after i put in my username and password, doing nothing. the activity light doesn't blink, the little hourglass isn't around or anything. it just sits there. and then all of a sudden, 5-7 minutes later, the computer "wakes up" and loads windows as if nothing was wrong.

it's very frustrating for a new computer to take that long to start up, even if it is only once out of a number of start ups. does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
