Long boot time with unresponsiveness for up to 30mins
Hey all,
I have tried to figure out why my PC takes such a long time to boot/be ready for use. I have used all the knowledge i have and have come up empty. Here is a description of my problem.
- Start PC
- Loads within a few mins
- Log in
- Computer becomes extremely slow and becomes unresponsive, I am unable to open anything even notepad
- This generally carries on for up to 30mins sometimes longer.
This problem occurs from a fresh start-up or hibernate/sleep mode
My main theories are its either Avast being a CPU hog, or my HDD is on it way out.
Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks
