Hello,

This morning when I went to boot up my PC I noticed that it took an exceptionally long time to boot. What usually takes 10-20 seconds took 2-4 minutes (time from power button to windows log in screen). The majority of that time was spent in the black screen with the white loading dots (it took so long the screen went from black to gray before finally getting to the log in screen).

My boot drive is an SSD. The SSD I have is MDNVME80-BPX-0512 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDRUXNZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

I ran the CrystalDisk programs and am a little confused by what it's showing me. My SSD was at 70 degrees Celsius which seems really high compared to my two HDD that were both at 30 degrees. But more surprisingly the sequential read/write speeds were at 10GB/s on something that's rated at 2600 MB/s read and 1300 MB/s write.

The rest of my system:
Ryzen 5 1600x
16gb ddr4 3200
Radeon RX 580 8GB
ROG Strix X-370F

Is my SSD burning out or could something else be causing my system to boot horrifically slow?

Note: Once my system gets going it seems fine and I have no hiccups in performance. It just seems to be startup related.

EDIT: I can't add images to this post for whatever reason, it says that a server error occurs whenever I try. View: https://imgur.com/C1AmNNs

Updated... unfortunately pretty full due to the game I'm playing atm. COD MW which is at 150GB or so.

The SSD has been at its current capacity since the games release late October.
