I'm experiencing an unusual problem with my new GMKtec M6 NUC. When it first starts up, everything seems to work but the boot time is extremely long—around 10 minutes. It only crashes if I manage to log in to Windows, after which the hard drive appears fully functional. A simple restart seems to fix the issue and restore normal performance. Even when I disconnect the power supply for a short period, the problem resurfaces. The SSD is operating correctly, RAM appears to be working despite the system booting on the second try, and the BIOS isn't resetting. I've attempted to disable MSI in regedit, turned off fast startup, and tried several online fixes. It seems like a capacitor issue might be the cause. Do you have any experience with this type of fault?
