I got a question related to 52:00 question. What if you're logging in, it takes awhile, but then your screen goes white for a long time and your hard drive is at 100% speed. Resetting the display drivers does nothing, however, when you shutdown and unplug your USB devices on your PC, it works. What's the issue? Is it a defective USB (even though after it works, you plug them all in and they work).

Hi, on your website you have a CompTIA A+ Exam Vouchers - Two Voucher Bundle $414.00 if I use a voucher for the 220-1001 exam and fail can I use the other to retake the same exam?
