It's not really a big issue but:

When i boot up my PC, i see my asus screen, it loads up, and the screen is black, except for my mouse, which i can still see and move. After about 5 seconds, my desktop appears, and nothing is wrong (that i notice). This happens every time i fully shutdown my computer. How do i fix this and what does it mean?

Thanks

It sounds like there is an issue with the boot sector of the hard drive.

A re-install of the O.S. could fix it but it also may be a bad hard drive that will recreate this issue until you fix it.

I hope that helps..
