Its getting really bad, I was starting at the motherboard screen for 10 min then it finally moves past that point by the grace of God. In the past I had trouble with the motherboard malfunctioning and not allowing my computer to start up at all. Thought I was past that point. Even in windows It took extrememly long to load all the programs and such. I built this thing not to long ago too sux that it is failing so bad. I used to have major overheating problems as well where the computer would have to shut down before exploding, lol. But its gotta be the motherboard right I mean my memory is fine I switched with other sticks, the processor I think would not be the problem, hard drive no, gotta be the motherboars slowly dieing.
