      Hi not used my pi for a while so last week I started again did a fresh install,loaded my roms and was working good
      But now today when I turn it on seems to take around 45 seconds to load .
      But my main issue is when I try to reboot or quit out of emulationstation I just goes to a black screen and then nothing happens so I have to pull the plug
