Hi, i have a hp pavillion desktop pc which came with windows 7 installed,
I later updated to windows 8 and at the same time has a SSD fitted , everything worked perfect for about 7 months then one day it just started to take about 10 mins to boot up ,The screen stayed black then it would start as normal , but if i shut down for 30 minutes or so or reset the computer it would start normal no black screen.
i have done a clean reboot , unplugged all external USB devices and the 2nd internal HDD but the problem is still there, i noticed the SSD had 5 partions which i had not made and i am pretty sure they where not there before but i cant be 100%
Sometimes the computer will start and some text will come up saying - Scanning and repairing drive (\\?\Volume(14e1d751-2465-4769-9394-09ed6cc6aaf9}): 100% c

but only now and then

my specs are
windows 8.1
build 6.3.96000
hewlett-packard
h8-1375ea
x64-based pc
intel core i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz,3401 Mhz, 4 Core ,

im not very technical but any help would be great
thank you
