So I saw this PC, 3.5 yr. old, just out of warranty for 0.5 yr., Gigabyte Ultra Durable motherboard, when I press the power button, the DVD spins, then it seems to be in a very slow motion, nothing happens, NO BEEP sound, then eventually win 10 boots up. The motherboard is connects to a Intel SSD, so boot up should be just a few seconds, but these slow boot up takes at least 30 to 45 sec.
Then in another scenario, the person who uses the PC said, after he push the power button, the DVD spins, then nothing happens, then after a short while, the DVD spin again, and then once again, nothing happens. Then on the 3rd time when the DVD spins, the PC boots up
So slightly different description than what I said, but very similar.
Now, the above doesn't happen all the time, just occasional
Now, after the PC warms up, it no longer does the above. So it seems to be heat related.
Is it the motherboard or the Power supply? please help
