pc randomly posts very slowly after being switched off at the power supply for several hours. doesnt even get to booting windows.
it posts so slowly it doesnt even make it to the windows booting stage.
it just shows bios splash for about 10+ seconds then a blinking cursor icon.
and it takes like 10+ second to reach the bios splash screen alone
Normally it takes about 2-3 seconds to reach bios splash screen. then almost immediately within a second windows starts booting.
If I just switch off the pc again at the power supply. and turn it back on. then press the power button it'll boot fast and normally like nothing ever happened. No slow post.
Why the inconsistent behavior? And whys it random? sometimes it doesnt happen at all. and the pc boots completely normally and fast.
Power supply is pretty new. EVGA GQ 750W 80+ gold only couple months old.
Motherboard is old but worked fine for months without issues.
CPU is also old.
but ram is new. a month or so old.
graphics card RTX 3060 is old but its the most recent thing I installed.
it was all working fine until this morning.
