Boot up getting very slow, strange black screen
My 4 week old new machine started off very fast boot and now keeps getting slower and slower. My 1Tb drive is only 2% occupied, barely filled
On start up, after bios post screen, I now get a black screen with white horizontal cursors dancing around on it. After that stops the windows logo appears, but I time it at 1 min. 48 sec. to boot compared to 30 seconds at first. The last time this happened on my last machine, it wasn't long before I was building this machine as apparently the HDD died. I've no idea what is going on.
