    So last night my laptop was working perfectly, had no problems at all and then this morning when I wake up it's taken forever and it still hasn't booted up! :mad: Basically what happens is that it goes tot he bios screen and what usually takes a couple seconds to go through the loading bar is taking 1-2 minutes and then it just stays at the screen where the _ flashes before vista start up screen appears. :confused: I dunno what the problem is but any advice would be appreciated! :)
