Did the following with no improvement in results:

Physically Unplug Sound Card - Nothing
Took out both GTX580 SLi and swapping positions of cards - Nothing
Disabled all DVD & BD and HDD - Nothing

Looks like I will have to reinstall again :/

Just installed Soluto to test out.

Managed to drop the boot up to under 1 min... I realised that the thing that really ate up 20sec was AnyDVD... 20s! very interesting...

SSD maintenance check-list:
Are you using the Intel SATA socket with SATA600?
Have you updated firmware?
Tried changing SATA cable?
Is ACHI mode in Bios enabled?
Have you updated Intel chipsets drivers and Intel RST software?
Is TRIM working in Windows?
Check if CPU bus speeds are normal and not overclocked?
Have you tried disabling C-States, Speedstep and Turbo boost?
After firmware update, did you try clearing motherboard cmos or try load optimised defaults then reconfigure?

(When C-States are disabled in BIOS; Sleep mode may not work)

After Secure Erasing my SSD and reinstalling Windows, boot times are back to fantasuc speed.

I went on to install driver, utilities and software one by one.

All of the given drivers did not seem to give a problem.

The problem then started to arise when I installed one of Gigabyte's mobo utilities, "Update Manager".

That utility alone increased my boot up by abt 30s!

Once deleted/removed, boot times went back down to 20s+ (including BIOS load up)
