Just today, my computer has begun to load its OS's extremely slowly. It POST's fine, and once the OS finally loads, it's business as usual, but it can take five minutes or more just to get the OS itself to load. The problem persists regardless of the OS I'm using. I've made no recent changes to the computer's hardware, and otherwise I doubt any component is causing trouble... however, my parents have an iPod that they just recently plugged into my computer to charge it. Could that be the source of the problem?
