First of all,try to disable splash and look why this happening.May be system trying to say you something and you do not see this messages.
Type in terminal :
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Type you password.
When file will be opened,find string "## ## End Default Options ##" which is close to end of the file.Below this string you will find kelnels list.Remove all words "splash" in strings which looks something like that(your numbers in string will look different):
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=9af5cbf7-5c96-6ad9-82ad-7a22445610f7 ro quiet splash
After the change it will look like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=9af5cbf7-5c96-6ad9-82ad-7a22445610f7 ro quiet
Save this file.Reboot the computer and read log messages that system writing to you.May be you can find your problem there.
Additionaly,you can install bootchart packet:
sudo apt-get install bootchart
This program monitoring your PC's boot process and converting it to grafical representation.After installing this packet,reboot your computer,and go to /var/log/bootchart directory,it will contain image of your computer's boot process,so you will see which processes taking long time to perform.
