I usually keep my computer running 24/7 but just today I restarted had to restart it and noticed it hangs at a black screen for about 30+ seconds before the motherboard splash screen shows. At first I thought it was freezing so I manually shut off the computer then turning it back on (which the computer would boot up fine after that). However, if I try to restart it, it will sit at that black screen with a the underscore icon in the top left and the computer seems frozen (no response from keyboard such as numlock or capslock). If I remember correctly, before the motherboard splash screen you're suppose to see your video card information. Never really paid attention too closely on this computer but anyways, any ideas what might be causing this issue?
