Oops yeah I guess...I put it here though cuz I thought it had a lot to do with the HDD aswell.

Main reason why I even ask this question is that since I got my new HDD...about every 3rd or 4th bootup it like hangs mid bootup and then runs that bootup screen for even longer ...so let's say I usually see the screen for 1 to 1 one a half minutes...well every third or 4th bootup it boots for like 3 seconds, hangs for a minute and then boots for like another 2 minutes before loading normally...so I was curious what might have that effect between the 2 different harddrives (if it's HDD related).

Or alternatively I am worried that my CPU might be announcing that it's thinking about retirement within the next few months or so as I don't see any processor activity during that hang (the litte light which I think indicates processing never flickers or hardly flickers during the hang)...although I don't think a CPU would be issuing a surrender notice on an almost scheduled basis.
