Extremely long loading times out of nowhere

Before yesterday, I loaded in to all maps at about 2:30-3:30 before the round started. Yesterday, I noticed some longer loading times in which I got done loading about 45-1:30 before the round started. I dismissed this as just some kind of one time issue. However, getting on today for one map it took me 10 minutes to load the map, and just now it took me 35 minutes to load in. The loading times are getting longer and longer, and I don't believe it is my computer dying because once I get in game I still get the same FPS as always. It would be helpful to fix, as if I am ever the only admin on people could grief for the first 30 minutes of the game without me being able to do anything about it.

what kind of CPU do you have
what kind of harddrive? defrag?
SSD? make sure its at least 20% empty
latest windows?
any anti virus? make sure it isn't scanning your files while you load..

also paste PC specs by going to launcher>support copy and paste


and your title thread.. this is what i read it as

i would download some sort of hard drive diagnostics software and go from there. it could be a virus or it could be your hard disk giving up.. check your task manager and see if anything is hogging up your hard drive, run some AV and make sure you dont have any malware or anything

also,
last time you formatted?

how old is the disk?

I was checking a corrupted (RAW files) 15 year old HD yesterday with WD toolwhich was nice

Off Topic:

Recuva from piriformwas also great to recover the files and WD to check the HD, some other program Easeus worked but took ages with not responding, whereas recuva was nearly instant.
