Hi everyone,

I have a 5 year old PC, an Acer Aspire, which does it's job brilliantly, apart from the fact it takes almost 5 minutes to boot.

After I push the power button, something makes very loud noises (I believe its the ventilator being turned on), which takes some 3+ minutes to slow down, and after that it shortly does "rev" the ventilator so it seems. After a while it seems the motherboard is activated, BIOS-sound comes up and it boots up normally.

There are 2 harddrives in this PC. One being the main harddisk (C: ) with Windows 8 running, Partitions D:, E: and G: are 1 harddisk, which I believe still has Win7 on it.
Is it possible that the computer is tricked into starting up Win7, but it can't bec Win8 is installed?

The computer functions in a normal manner, both the harddrives are accessible, and it doesnt have BSODs or crashes.

Somebody who knows what might be going on?
Thanks in advance,

Marty

P.S.: And yes, I play Train Simulator 2014 Tongue
