Hi all: I have tried searching and found nothing on this, and although I am sure there is something I am sure my search terms were poor. So if this is discussed already, if someone could just point me in the right direction of the thread I would appreciate it. I use my system for media...

Hello - I did search the slow start up topics, but couldn't find anything relating to a power outage. Also, I can't say 100% that this is related to the power outage. I had this same problem a couple months ago after an automatic Windows update. I restored the computer to 2 days prior and...
