Linux won't accept password often

[G9XFTW]

On cold boot I proceed to enter the passphrase for my encrypted home folder and it asks me to re-enter passphrase on nearly every submission. The capslock doesn't seem to be working. But whether I use it or not it never accepts password on first try.

Also when my password for account login is accepted the screen kind of freezes for 90 secs or something then refreshes back to the login page and this loop does not end. I have to restart my computer from the shutdown option on screen everytime. On the second boot the passwords are accepted with almost no issues and I am logged in properly. What is this stupid issue? how do I fix it?

Sounds like it's either corrupted, or (long shot) did you recently change video cards?

The 90second pause thing, how slow is the CPU in the computer?

No, changed RAM.

Odd, if you put the old RAM back, does the system behave? If it does, I'd say the RAM is bad or incompatible with your system.

Which distro is it and what filesystem is on /home and / ?
