long wait on bios splash screen

[jamesisninja]

Hey guys, so, just starting tonight my PC started to get stuck on the bios screen, for like 2-5 minutes before booting. I haven't made any changes to hardware or software recently. In fact it worked fine before I left for work, when I returned and went to turn it on it took forever. The only thing recently I did was install Linux as a secondary browser but it was working fine all last week with it, so I don't think that's it. So it makes me think something is dying. Nothing is really that old though, all specs are in my signature I believe. Posting from mobile, I'll check for potential solutions/things to test in the morning! Thanks

Looks like u have some problems with components\bios setup.

As long as u didn't change any hardware, I would say it's a bios problem.

Try clearing cmos (remove battery and turn psu off for 20 minutes), if it won't help, then there might be some hardware problem.

Maybe u can spot it with a speaker (little thing, that beeps).
