Just built a new box:
A8N SLI
Maxtor 250GB Diamondmax 10 SATA
AMD 64 3500+
BFG 7800GT x 2
2GB OCZ 3200
Enermax 600W
Here is my problem. About every other time i turn the box on, it either freezes during bootup (always at the black "windows" screen), or it takes in excess of over 60 seconds to get to the login prompt. Normally, its about 15 seconds from the time i turn it on, until it hits the login screen.
Its almost as if the OS is having an in issue taking control from the bios. I'm using Win XP Pro with SP2 and all the updates. My bios is updated to the lastes 1011 bios from ASUS. At first, i thought it was because of all the windows updates i had to apply since it was new, but now its a constant problem.
Anyone have any ideas? This is a frustrating issue. I've done about 30 computer builds, and never run into this one. Everything on the box works like a champ when its running. Its just this one small boot up issue.
