Taking long time to boot, Is it possible for a graphics card to get a Virus?...

XtremeZ97 · Aug 11, 2014

My PC takes long time to open... the Screen Goes on Power Save Mode
In most of the times it takes long time to Open
It rarely starts from the first time.
Can a Graphics Card get a Virus?.. I don't know
and I also think, (But I'm NOT Sure) the the performance of the Graphics Card has been too lower
than it should be
I know its a Low End and A weak integrated card (Intel G41 Express Chipset)
but when I see videos on games being played on it.... It has more performance.

(I'm thinking about replacing the graphics card soon)

Specs (Really Weak):
Intel Celeron 347, 3.06 GHz
Intel G41
2GB DDR2 RAM

So any Solution to fix the pc starting Up Issue?

Where does it take the longest to boot, at windows logo, at windows welcome screen, or earlier, if so what stage?

The biggest fix to a slow booting PC is to defragment your hard drive and run ccleaner and clear out old unused registry files. And no there are no viruses or trojans specifically built to hide in GPUs. There are ones that are made to use them such as for bitcoin mining but I dont think this seems to be your case.

Also another big booster would be to purchase an SSD. The 840 EVO 120GB is a great deal and the samsung magician software is an invaluable asset. Plus the migration software they include makes moving the OS from the hard drive to the SSD as painless as possible.

No No No...It Doesn't even Boot Up....
the Monitor Goes on Power Save Mode.... I think it is a virus or some thing

That's something entirely different then, try reseating your RAM modules and make sure all cables are correctly connected, if still doesn't boot up clear your CMOS and give it another try.

Reseting the CMOS battery resets the BIOS which could lead to some Windows problems. Keep it as a last resort.

I tried resetting the CMOS Before, It works temporarly and I also Removed the RAM and Putted it again, but didnt work

Edit: Resetting the CMOS worked before (Temporairly), Now It Doesnt work at all, Same for the RAM
