Odd problem here.
Within the past a 2 weeks, desktop pc did some windows updates and also Acronis updates to Acronis 2016.
Since then, pc seems to be running slower then usual.
Also,,, (this is want bothers me) When I power up the pc, it freezes on bootup.
The machine is a 7 year old Dell Inspiron, intel quad 4 with 8 gig ram. Unit was bought as "refurbished" with new warranty from Dell.
When the machine starts, the Dell logo shows, then the line at the bottom goes half way and stops.
Using the power off button, I power the unit down, power on again and unit still freezes on bootup.
I unplugged the unit for a minute, plugged it back in, turn unit on and it starts normally.
Could this be the hdd is starting to fail??? Or,,, did the update to a newer version of acronis 2016 cause a problem??
