Hi! If anyone could give me a hand with this I'd be really grateful, I've been trying to fix it for 3 days. My computer is having an issue where whenever I either restart it or force shut it down (but not when I either restart in safe mode or just power it off normally), it takes anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours to boot into windows 10. It's using an AMD Ryzen 3700X on a gigabyte B450 motherboard, with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Ti. While in the process of restarting (spinning dots), the fans in my computer will alternate between full speed and about 50%, so I think it's doing something, at least.
It doesn't look like it's an issue with either my SSD (that my OS is contained on) or my HDD (that I store my files on), because whenever I use safe mode the computer boots after about 5 seconds. I tried defragmenting my HDD, but that didn't help. I thought it was an issue with my drivers, so after I tried reinstalling all of them (and updating them to the latest, for every part of my computer) I tried putting it into diagnostic mode and disabling all services in system configuration (I haven't tried disabling startup apps yet, I'm going to try that whenever it turns back on). Whenever it's in diagnostic mode it takes 3 hours again, unless I also use safe boot.
I've tried resetting windows completely, the problem came back after reinstalling my apps.
Other problems my computer has had are:

Other problems my computer has had are:
- Randomly turns off (about once every five times) when I click "play" in any game (but not on starting the game)
- A BSoD sometimes, when I unplug my WiFi adapter (I don't have the stop code as it hasn't happened in a while)
- Another BSoD "driver state power failure" when trying to restart it to troubleshoot
