Binary search is your friend in such a case.

E.g., comment out 1/2 of your init file, then
3/4, 7/8, 15/16, ... till you find the culprit.

You can use command `comment-region' to comment
out a block of code (the region).  With `C-u'
the same command uncomments the region.

This method is blind but efficient.  It seems
to go slowly at first, then picks up quickly.

You might think you can figure things out
instead, by looking at your init file.  And
that might be true.  But it is also often a
trap/gotcha - a dumb binary search can often
be more efficient.
