When I turn on my PC the ASRock splash screen loads for like 2-3 minutes and before it was really fast. I pressed tab to see the screen and the part that takes most to load is

"Auto-Detecting SATAII_1 ...IDE Hard Disk"

Then everything seems normal. Windows loads normally, no lag, no weird sounds... everything normal besides the slow loading in the beginning. My friend said it could either be a problem with my hard drive or motherboard and its a symptom that it will break anytime? This is weird to me because last year i changed the motherboard and Hard Disk.. Does anyone know what can the cause be?
 
Hi there Pyromaniac_1,

The first thing you may want to do is to just back up the data stored on your drive.
After that, you can just test it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
Trying something simple as just attaching the drive with different cables(both SATA and power ones) to a different SATA port will not hurt as well.

Let me know how this goes,
