[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1634667, member: 24160"] Sounds like a bad hard drive to me. The bluetooth could be due to the drivers no longer being read and loading properly from the drive. I don't believe I've seen a long boot time issue come down to it being a problem with the system board. Boot times in excess of a minute or 2 that isn't solved by a wipe and reinstall of the OS or a defrag of the drive is a dying drive way more often than not. [/QUOTE]
