Very Slow Boot and other problems

[almoststew1990]

My trusty sig PC is having a few problems with booting (and i think related..ly) detecting my relatively new DVD drive. Motherbaord is a ASUS P7P55D EVO

I get occasional Blue Screens with error code which can be found here if it helps:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13203382/WER-24351-0.sysdata.xml

My POST sometimes takes about 1 minute, it hangs when detecting SATA devices. However, the POST is responsive, i.e. when I press Delete to enter setup, it immidiately says "entering setup...." at the top.

Always on these occasions, and also sometimes even when I have POSTed fine, my DVD drive is not present in Device Manager or My Computer. The little LED is flashing continually and won't eject as it thinks it is busy or something?

My HDD is also running sluggishly, with pictures appearing blurred for a second or so when I view them from my HDD and files and desktop icons etc start off as a blank white icon at first and then load up.

Help me OCUK- what is going on with my Motherboard!?

Can you post what it says in event logs for the time of the BSOD. The info in your dropbox is system info and nothing else.

The two errors (it BSOD and then hung at POST, then reset and hung at post but reached windows this second time) are:

Hang on, I have a "Critical" from when the computer actually crashed, it was a few mins earlier. In chronological order:

"Event Log" The previous system shutdown at 19:56:58 on ‎14/‎07/‎2013 was unexpected.
and then:

"Bug Check" The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa8007f8e028, 0x00000000f2000000, 0x0000000000010005). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 071413-13946-01.

and then:

"Kernal-Power"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

WHEA-Logger / EventID 18 suggest issues with an OC. Can we load optimised defaults and test? Can you also test the memory with memtest?
