Sounds like the hard drive is starting to go. Is it making any noise?

Hi Guys,

An annoying issue has appeared !
I'm running Q4OS,  Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine with
2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD.

Problem:  On boot up, maybe every second or third time,  I get a black
screen with  "[***   ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds.  1:30."
If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same screen and
message.  If I let it continue, I then get a page of text with "Ctrl
D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login"
Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the
machine, It then goes back to the start job again.
If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what I
think maybe logs.  At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my normal
desktop.  At this point if I logout and hard boot the machine,
everything comes up as normal.

I haven't a clue what is going on here...  Help !

Thanks Guys:
