I have a computer and it takes 10 min to turn on. Meaning after i push the on button it takes 10 min to go to the start up screen where its detecting all the devices and says press del to change screen. I have a lan party nf3 250gb mother board with a ultra 600w xfinity pwer supply. got any ideas?:surprised

    I would run bootvis. its a Microsoft program that will show you what is hanging up and can help improve your boot time. To be honest it sounds like you have some sort of hardware conflict or problem if it is actually taking 10 minutes.

    Keep us posted!

    Is this a problem that just started happening overnight or is it one that's been slowly getting worse over time?

    Sounds like hardware or spyware. You can also press ctrl-alt-delete at different stages of the boot and look to see what processes are running at various stages.

    i think its taking so long on my optical drive. because when i run bootvis most of its usage is on the drive. What should i do about this problem

    Power off the PC. Unplug the drive cables from the drive. power back on and see what happens.
