When I turn my comp. on it sits at the motherboard bios boot up screen for like 10 minutes (no joke) and it will finally go past that and boot up normally.

But the last thing it went to before it froze was memory and just freezes for about 5-10 minutes. I tried it again and it didn't even register the cpu before it froze. This just started about a week ago. I took the memory sticks out and put them in the other 2 slots and have the same issue.

Any suggestions? Could it be the memory or something else?
 
Run memtest on each stick for at least 4-5 hours, longer if you can.

And any errors are bad errors.....
 
Yah, run memtest.

If memtest passes, run a Drive Fitness test on the HDDs.

What PSU do you have?
 
Before doing any tests, unplug the ram, clean its contacts and blow any dust out of the sockets.
Refit and see if the problem remains.
