Actually, adding more RAM won't solve the issue of your PC hanging during startup. In the event something has been installed during the time it worked properly until now, go to Start/Run then type MSCONFIG and disable everything in the Startup tab (the one to the very right) and if it comes up normally then start enabling necessary startup items like anti-virus programs and firewall, etc. then restart when prompted and see which item is causing your excessive boot time. It may seem time consuming having to reboot every time but this process of elimination will give you 95% success rate that you'll find your culprit.
