Hi, Sorry I can promise I have searched thoroughly through the internet for a solution with no success.
As the title says my POST is taking 30 minutes to load. Then the BIOS and finally Windows.
I had left the house for the whole day today for it to take this long upon starting it up. For the past 3 days it was taking only 2-3 minutes. (WHICH IS STILL UNUSUAL!) So this problem I noticed started 3 days ago. But now today it took 30 minutes. (For this I'm half sold on something is warming up that hasn't had the need to do that before.)
I am currently sold on a CMOS Battery failure, but I want to make sure. The CMOS does look integrated into the motherboard.
Do you guys know of anything I can do in command prompt to see the levels of the battery? Or maybe a utility that can do it?
My Computer is Acer Aspire E5-571P-55TL
Everything is original except 2 4GB sticks of RAM and a 128GB SSD upgrade. \
I have tried using the original RAM and HDD that came with it. I even tried not using any RAM or Hard Drive. No Success.
Thank you.
Update:My laptop shutdown last night while I was sleeping and now 3+ hours have past and still in POST
