It could be some of your hardware is getting older or just wearing out.  The faster the computer system the faster it can run hot and wear it's life down,  The startup problem could be fixed by either entering the BIOS usually by pressing DEL or F2 on most systems and making sure the startup mode is set to short or the option that may refer to checking RAM everytime the system boots up.  It isn't always name under the same option and on some systems it isn't even availble but it is worth a try.

Another option is replacing your RAM, or even the CMOS battery that looks like it goes into a watch.
