I noticed in the car yesturday that my EMPEG got horribly slow. To the point where pressing "play" didn't do anything until approximatly 2 minutes later... Today, when I powered it up at home, it took approximatly 5-6 minutes to fully turn on... Each part of the boot-up process (loading visuals, etc) took 1-2 minutes each...

Any idea what might be happening?

I'm scared!
