MacBook Pro El Capitan Stuck on boot up 'pic pause: sdxc'

I just received a MacBook Pro from somebody else because it was running slowly at times, especially while booting up (about 4 minutes). When booting up in verbose mode, it takes a while to do anything after "pci pause: SDXC." I have tried formatting the drive and reinstalling the operating system from scratch. The reinstall takes about 8 hours and in the end it doesn't work or boot up is just as slow as it was before. The computer especially seems to run slow while doing system things with it. I haven't done a multitude of hardware checks and everything seems to check out.

I got some output from the script in this thread if it helps any: 13" MBP Stuck at startup (II)
