    Yes, it's the identical issue I was having on the SSD. I haven't formatted the SSD yet, so I'll pop it back in and run the same tests. It wasn't plugged in. I'll run through the troubleshooting steps too and report back. Here's the disk management screen shot:

    Most likely with the RAM or install then.

    Did you run the bootable Linux stick without the hard drive plugged in? This can absolve or implicate the install since issue replicates with both hard drives.

    Can you remove the Bluetooth altogether to test for awhile?

    The hard drive was plugged in when I was using the linux stick, yes. I do have new ram coming in tomorrow, which will hopefully fix the problem. Can't find a manufacturer diagnostic tool for my SSD, it's an old sandisk one and is listed as EOL. Running the manufacturer diagnostics on the HDD now using another PC.

    Strangely with the SSD back in, instead of being fast on approximately 1 out 5 reboots, it's only being slow on 1 out of 5 reboots, but the winsat mem test had similar results on the slow boot up.

    I'll test without the bluetooth card if it's not working with the new RAM tomorrow.

    Looks like it was the bluetooth+wifi combo card. I may be just getting lucky with several good restarts in a row, but since I swapped it for a wifi only card (the one original to the laptop) I haven't had a slow boot up. The replacement ram I bought is a 2 GB upgrade, so I'm not upset I got it, but just replacing the ram didn't fix anything. Too bad the BT+wifi card didn't crap out during the 30 day return period =/ Thank you to everyone that responded and tried to help! I've got a few new things in my tool belt for future problems now, which I'm sure will come in handy the next time I have computer trouble!
