I noticed on the new installs it had happened after I installed the IDT audio driver. So I uninstalled the driver and rebooted and the error went away. Turns out it was causing a service to hang for a few before it would start and would cause the error at startup and would be fine after a min or so had pasted.
So as a test, try uninstalling your audio driver and software and see if that does the trick.

So was the error resolved by reinstalling the audio driver, or did it reappear ?
Shane:
I found a different IDT driver to use and the problem went away. Another time just reinstalling the same driver worked. So I am not sure exactly but I do know it was the audio driver holding up the services.

Boggin:
Wonder if it's specific to IDT - mine use Realtek.

Went ahead and tried that, so far so good. The error only comes up when it boots up after being very slow. After its been shut down for a few hours it boots up fine. Then after a while it just all the sudden slows down dramatically. If reboot after that the error comes up and takes 30 mins to boot and over 10+ hours for a program to run thatshould take 30-60 mins.
Been keeping HWMonitor open and my temps never exceed 70 even when running slow. Safe mode runs exactly the same. The only time it runs ok with no issues is a Live Tails Linux based bootable cd. I'm starting to think it may be the Power Supply. What's the best way to test that?
Boggin:
Is it possible for you to capture a snip of HWMonitor when it slows and the post it when things are back to normal.
If your HDD is up around the 70 mark then that is way too hot, but it's interesting that after it has been off for a few hours that it boots up okay - which could also point to memory.

Audio and your GPU aren't in use in Safe Mode so it has to be a commonality to both those modes.
Next time it slows, shut it down and remove all sources of power and hold the power button in for ~30secs then see how it boots up.
After a few hours, the caps will also have drained as well as any cooling, so if it boots up okay after the cold boot then that would point to memory.
