For about the last month, my desktop has been taking longer and longer (now up to 15 minutes) to boot up and load windows 10. When I press the ON button, it sounds like it is running or spinning, but I don't hear the beep for about 10 minutes, then everything progresses nicely. It will boot up perfectly on a restart, but not on a cold boot.
I have an Inspiron 546
AMD Phenom 9650 Quad Core
CPU speed 2300 MHz
Processor L2 cache 2018 KB
4096 MB Mem
3840 MD mem avail
800 MHz mem speed
BIOS A05 05/11/2009
BOOT: SATA: Hitachi HDP72
BOOT2: Epson storage (USB)
I don't even know what the Epson storage is. I have an external Seagate drive, but it is disconnected at the moment.
I am pretty much a novice at diagnostics.
Oh, I ran Ccleaner, Malwarebytes, and Adaware with no change to the booting.
