My pc can take hours to boot...

[PcMechanic]

When i turn on my pc(a desktop) it stars the fans, the led showing the that the motherboard has power ligths up... and the problem is that the hard drive stats, but the system takes hours too boot... during this the computer scren is totaly dark(it does't show any info about what is hapening) when it finaly starts it works as normal, no slowdwons no crasches no blue screen...

the leed in the front panel tells me that the hard drive is workin at maximum speed, when playing games rarely the hard drive works that mutch,
this problem hapens more severely when i load the hard drive above 50% and when new data is writen on it,

Sorry about my poor english

When was the PC brought, if I may ask?

No it can't take hours for clock to start or boot like that. Sit in front of your PC while it boots and look if window is just still with the logo/ start screen or does it distort or there are disturbances.

the clock starts as soon as as the motherboard logo is shown in the old days it used to take 3-4 minutes to start...
and i did some upgrades to it incresead the RAM from 512 MB to 2 GB, put on it a new grafics card...
aniway i was tinking of buying a laptop they are mutch more eficient and portable😀

this one conot be upgraded further because the motherboard canot take any faster processor than a Pentiun IV 3.2 Ghz
the speed of the ram memory data transfer is 5 times slower than in a modern motherboard...

Yeah I understand. Upgrading this pc now will be stressing it beyond repair. Do some research, and if you're confused, we're always there
