It’s been a while since I have posted a response on this thread…
Anyways, if you’re interested in reading about the ‘trial and error’ diagnosis of my laptop (or are experiencing a similar problem), then read the following link:

After applying all of the recommended ‘fixes’ and ‘repairs’, the individual issues reported in my Event Viewer were resolved and my laptop’s performance benefited slightly, but the main issue regarding its boot-time still persisted.
I then just proceeded to uninstall avast! (reason is detailed earlier in this very thread), and replaced it with AVG. Its been longer than several weeks, and my laptop seems to be running normally.
I am still perplexed as to why avast! doesn’t want to cooperate with my laptop, but at this stage, I seem to have been left with no other option, excluding factory reset.
Well, that’s that.
