Starting PC hangtime

Sometimes when I start my PC, it just hangs at the 'Starting Windows' screen. Like, I just removed my power cable and re-plugged it and it did it. Also, when I was overclocking it did the same, what does it mean? Is it anything bad?

if the overclocks are stable i dont think this will lead to anything too bad

 

where to look at

-SSD

-HDD

This definitely makes me suspicious of the drive you have windows installed on. Have you tried another drive?

Corsair 900D | MSI MPower Max Z87 AC | i7-4790K @ 4.7Ghz | 1080 Ti SLI | 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 
XSPC Raystorm | EK-FC Nickel GPU block/backplate | 2x Alphacool UT60 480mm & XT45 240mm | 11x Linus Edition NF-F12
Schiit Modi/Magni 2 Uber | 5" KRK Rokit G3 | KRK 10S2 | Acer Predator X34 | Dell S2716DG
