PC boot time has increased drastically.

My PC specs:
i5-4670k
Gigabyte 760 windforce
8GB ddr3 RAM
840 evo 120gb SSD
Asus Z87-A mobo


I have had my PC for over a year now, since the beginning my PC boots up in like 5-10 seconds. Out of no where the boot time slows down to like 5 minutes. When I start up the computer it first stays in the ASUS screen for a couple of minutes (it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/OqAppIo.png) then the screen goes black with a white dash in the upper left corner (like this http://i.imgur.com/0TnpS0S.jpg0). After that windows starts normally.

I dunno if this is related but right before having the slow boot time I moved my DVD drive to another slot on my case. I had to disconnected the power and sata cable and then reconnected it again. After the problem came up I thought it would be fixed if I disconnected both sata cables going to the DVD drive and SSD and reconnected them again, with the SSD in the first slot and the DVD drive in the second. I also made sure the SSD was first in the load order in the UEFI but it didn't fix anything and I'm still having the same problem.

Are you sure it spends minutes on the BIOS screen? That is very unusual.

not the BIOS screen but the start up ASUS screen, where it directs you to the BIOS by pressing F2 or delete.

edit: I reset the cmos and its all good now.
