Computer takes a while to turn on/off

[PirateCoffee]

I've noticed that sometimes it takes a while for the computer to turn on/off

 

An example would be today. I turned my computer on at 8:09am GMT. Didn't load after 10 minutes so I pressed the button and it said shutting down. I had to go to school and when I got home about 3:30 pm it was still saying shutting down. 

 

I turned it off and on and it booted into windows 8 in about 20 seconds.

 

Sometimes it also takes about 20 minutes for the blue light on the computer to stop (I assume the computer is still doing something) when the monitors have turned black as my computer is shutting down.

 

 

Built the computer in august too.

did you check the drivers ?

did you check the drivers ?

 

What drivers in specific?

 

Graphics drivers are absolutely fine. (Even though I did BSOD once from a nvidia driver!)

It usually happens when replacing some parts (graph card, ram and etc.). The 100% way to fix this is to reinstall windows.

Had the same thing after replacing graph card.

try to re-install as many drivers as possible 

limit the number of start-up apps 

sometime you need to re-install the O.S

and is it on the SSD ?

Check your boot drive and memory.

 

Tried running memtest and it wouldn't load it. Missing file so I rebooted into Windows 8.

 

No issues with SSD was found.
