Misc. Note: The CPU, hard drive, and GPU tend to be the most common cause of why rendering is taking so long. Most slow performing hardware can be optimized to perform renderings more quickly.

What causes slow rendering?
Check your graphics card and PCIe slot. Oftentimes in shipping the CPU cooler and video card are the most likely to sustain damage. If rendering is going slowly, it may be a result of your video card not being connected.
