Startup Problems

[Guest]

Wasn't sure where to post this this was the closest i could guess.

So the other day i had a problem with iTunes and wouldn't close so i decided to restart (probably a bad idea).

When i loaded back up it took a good few seconds (about 20) before the initial beep. (usually about 5-10)

Then it goes through my raid settings and an as media, and it comes to windows.

It loads up the logo then usually disconnects the monitors for a brief moment, but this has been delayed for longer, up to 1 minute of time.

Tried a few different ideas but no luck.

Specs
i7 3930k 3.2
16GB RAM 1600MHz
GTX 690
2TB seagate Barracuda 64mb cache 7200RPM
5x OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSDs (RAID0)

I would guess memory issue, did you try swapping out your sticks one at a time see if this remedies the problem use one, see if it boots correctly, then try all the others singularly see if any of them work alone, see if any don't work consistantly and thats the bad stick.

Could be a virus too, have you ran a FULL scan with your virus protection and a FULL scan with Malwarebytes?

Thanks for the quick response.

Anti virus checked out ok

did as you said, take out the sticks. i did change which slots they went in and put them in 1 by one seemed to work fine.

all 4 sticks are in now and seems good as it wass previously.

Thanks for the help.

Dear all,
I have 1 problem. My computer is P4 & I had installed win XP SP3 on it.
It doesn't boot & restarts after showing options of booting i.e safe mode, normally , etc
Whichever option is selected for booting, it restarts from that point again.

This happens with or without DVD drive. But If i connected another DVD drive it boots properly.
why this is happened?

You would have better luck starting your own post here rather than hijacking someone else's post, if you start your own post it shows up as a question without an answer and it will be handled more quickly.
