Try these steps one by one:

1. Disable or uninstall startup programs.
2. Uninstall unused programs.
3. Defragment the hard disk. This is usually the culprit.
4. Free up disk space. This is another usual suspect.
5. Check the RAM contacts. Try removing and reinstalling the memory sticks.

Sometimes, the sound won't come up if your computer is having major slowdown. You can also try removing/disabling the sound card to see if that's the one causing the slowdown (faulty cards causes Window to keep trying).
