MacBook Air takes a while to proceed to log in screen

When turning on my MacBook air it makes the start up noise, then the screen stays blank for a couple of minutes before the apple logo appears then the apple logo goes and about 1 minute later the log in screen opens..

Anyone else has this problem? How do i fix this?

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one. Back up all data before making any changes.

1. Set the default startup disk.

2. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. If there's no change, reconnect them

3. Reset the System Management Controller.

4. Reset the PRAM. Afterwards you'll need to repeat Step 1.

5. Reset the printing system.
