1) Open your System Preferences file and click on System Accounts. 
Select your account then select "Startup Items.

2) Then record all of the items that are part of the star-up sequence 
and start removing the unneeded 3rd party items one at a time until you 
find one that might be causing your problems.

or

2a) Remove all of the unneeded 3rd party items and if that fix's your 
"freezing" replace 1/2 of the 3rd party items that were removed. If 
your "freezing" problem doesn't return then replace 1/2 of the 
remaining items, and so on and so on until the offending item is 
isolated.

3) If the problem returns then remove 1/2 of the items that were 
returned to see if the problem goes away, if it does then return to the 
start up list 1/2 of those that were removed to see if the problem 
returns.

This is a long process because it requires a restart after each removal 
to see if the "freezing" is gone and/or has returned.

Once you have found the problem, perhaps placing it in a different 
position in the list will fix the "freezing" problem.
