[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1567355, member: 56379"] Two ideas...and one suggestion. Ideas: - Could be some "screwy" software installed on the drive. - Could be the hard drive going bad (slow startups/reboots can be a sign of a dying HD). Suggestion: - Install a fresh copy of the OS on an external HD...and boot the computer from it. If everything is relatively normal...then that would indicate something is up with that internal HD (maybe one of the ideas I mentioned). * Nick [/QUOTE]
