My POST has always taken just a few seconds. Suddenly it now pauses after
the initial screen and before the memory count occurs. The delay is right
at 2 minutes.
Several days ago I was loading a utility from a trusted site when my machine
got a major hiccup. The hard drive started running in a loop, making the
same sounds repeatedly. I finally got it stopped and when I rebooted, the
delay happened for the first time.
Everything runs normally after POST and bootup are complete. I have run a
couple AV/malware programs from the net and nothing was found. I use MS
Onecare.
I have a P4, 2.30Ghz. A Gig of memory. The mobo and bios are about 3 years
old. Running Vista Ultimate.
I read here where someone had a similar problem and removing the MOBO
battery to allow the machine to reset solve their problem. It did nothing
for mine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not a big problem, but mostly
an aggravation.
