Hello all, so when i boot up my computer, both my screens turn white for quite a while till the system fully boots up and i dont understand why (see picture link). Ive tried running diagnostics and antivirus softwares but nothing is helping. Does anyone know what causes this?

the 120~ SSD I had as boot became over 80% full... somewhere over 70% capacity, SSD's start yo have diminished speed and capabilities to cope with the data... There is an article here somewhere about it. Unlike your HDD, that can get away with 95% capacity and not show stress, SSD's need more space. So, it works out that if you are using an SSD, never fill it beyond 80%...

Not really a waste... I had a 120 on mine, thinking the same thing. I bumped it to a 256(ish) drive after a short period of time, there are programs that only load to C: and information that is only there as well.

I keep my Profile folders on my 3TB HDD and have another SSD for games.

You didnt really explain why buying a bigger SSD isnt a waste, and plus i have about a terabyte worth of games so an SSD isnt really an option for those.
