Okay so I built a PC years ago (Q9550, P5Q PRO Turbo, etc) for myself that I eventually sold to my brother. Recently I bought it back to use as a HTPC. I threw in a brand new Samsung Evo 850 and installed Windows 7 64bit on it. Everything has been great up until the past week or two. And in this time nothing has changed with the PC, nothing has been installed or uninstalled or anything.
What has been happening is when I turn the PC on, the Mobo splash screen stays on screen for ~45 seconds when in the past (and normally) it is more like 5-10 seconds. Then the Windows splash screen (with the pulsating window) displays for 30+ seconds (normally like ~5 seconds). Sometimes it even seems to go on forever until I turn off the PC manually.
Today I did that and when it restarted it asked if I wanted to run setup repair, I clicked yes (hoping this would fix the problem) but it didn't change anything. Also occasionally when I turn the PC off (using shutdown) it will display the shutting down for a while.
I honestly have no clue what the problem could be. The SSD otherwise seems healthy and fine. I posted this in mobo because I wonder if the mobo could be acting up due to age. Do you have a clue what could be going on?
