[SOLVED] Extremely long boot times, is something incompatible?

[Karsonatorz]

So... It's taking about 30-60 mins for my computer to start up. As I recall, this didn't happen at first, but has happened for basically the entire time I've owned it. Computer runs well once it starts.. Last BIOS time in task manager is 11.9 seconds. So I'm really not sure whats going on. I hope you guys will tell me it's something obvious, I'm thinking something might be incompatible but I'm not sure where to start with it. Sometimes my screen flashes with random colors of pixels, I'm not sure if that's related, but I dont care about fixing that-

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Six core 3.6 ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb ddr4 3000

If this was an upgrade, did you reinstall Windows?

Another thing would be to scan the PC for malware.
