Hello - First time poster, but have used these forums for years!
I have this gateway laptop and am not sure what to do next.
When i power it up, it takes well over an hour to get to the log in screen. Once i get there, everything seems to function good.
I have Refreshed the system and applied all the updates - fully to Windows 8.1 and it still is not working properly.
My only attempt to access the bios did not work - i tapped F2 for a minute or so but that is a drop in the bucket when it takes 90 minutes to start!
any advice appreciated.
