Does the Lotem works well upter it loaded? If yes it looks like that everything functions OK, so I would think that the problem could be arround the PC ( CPU+Disk+Software)
Try and reload Windows and then the application of the Dolev. But before you do this save the DATA base and also the REGISTRY of the Lotem.
After loading the Windows software, load the SAVED REGISTRY and then the Lotem Application software. After this check if the data base is the same as you had before, i.e. plates, punches.

YOur cheapest solution is to run the PC from an external power source ( 230v) and the L Box ( with the lasers and DDB board) from the {Power Distribution Box). The problem with the Distribution board could be a solid State relay is down.

The slow boot has nothing to do with the CTP Power - distribution board

Is Windows loading slowly or the Lotem application?
I understand that after everything is up and running the machine works fine - please confirm.
You need the interlock closed and breaker on for the LBox to get the DDB online.

If you have the BIOS floppy, reload BIOS (disable first secure cmos) - also try setting detect IDE PIO mode to 0
When windows is loaded, check the drive space and run a chkdsk in command prompt.

If no success, as Pach said, make a registry and database backup, reload the Windows image and Lotem application with the eventual updates and restore the backup.

If problem does not go away, replace the hdd and repeat above steps on the new drive
