So this has been a problem fairly recently, every day when the computer gets booted it takes 30 minutes for the screen to display anything, and every day it takes longer for the screen to display something.
When the screen does suddenly display something, the computer has already completely booted, and is in Windows already.
If the computer has already started, and I restart the computer then, the problem doesn't occur, the screen just displays as normal, and the computer just boots in about a minute.
The problem only occurs when the computer has been off for a long period of time, probably making this some kind of heating or power issue.
So I was thinking this probably has nothing to do with the actual display itself, since I've tried leaving the display on overnight, which didn't help.
I'm thinking it's the GPU that needs replacing, but I'm not completely sure.
I'll try to get some specs if I can, but I don't think those are necessary here, since it's only recently been a problem.
If anybody has some insight to the cause, that'd be lovely.
