D has no RAM sticks

?? No HDD has any RAM sticks. I’m talking about the ones in the mobo starting up and operating the computer. If c the main drive isn’t full, the hdd shouldn’t be the issue causing the long start up time. My pc had issues a while ago, crashing, blue screen etc. changed the RAM and it was good. Anyhow, good luck figuring it out.

C was pretty full but I deleted a few things. Also starting is now as usual but I will check the RAM again.
