Ive just installed some RAM into my 2nd PC and now the boot times from power on to Windows booting has upped to about 10 minutes, it hangs on the Asus mobo boot screen. the Windows boot is usual 1 or 2 minutes after that.
i cant understand why its doing this. the ram works fine when in windows & is in the mobos vendor list, its just bog standard Corsair xms2 800mhz.
a few times after hanging it has asked which drive i want to boot from, its set to boot from drive 1 the only HDD in the PC.
the HDD also works fine in windows.
i cant get into the BIOS, if i quickly press for goto setup up it hangs there while searching for drives, usb drives etc then boots to windows
was wondering if my CMOS battery was dying.
