[QUOTE="dana k, post: 120574, member: 7191"] My boot menu appears to have been altered.The # 1 boot priority says simply IDEO: Sometimes it will show IDEO: HITACHI ,or something similar.but # 1 is the hitachi harddrive. I can power off ,hit f2 and go to boot menu, save changes and exit, and it goes to normal start up( even though i make no changes). I can also hit ctrl/alt/del from the black screen and it will go to normal start up,but every time i power on, it goes to the black screen. Computer seems to hang up constantly. Also start up time is very slow waiting for desktop to load. Not sure if this is a virus, malware,or an equipment issue. I would surely appreciate any advice i could get. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
