Well, this is quite self-explanatory. My computer has recently been taking WAY longer to load than normal...it used to load in about 30 seconds into windows, but now it hangs at the Bios splash screen for 1-2 minutes and then it hangs with a blinking "_" icon in the top left of a black screen for another 1-2 minutes before showing the XP boot screen! I have no idea what's causing this as I've made no recent hardware changes..I've noticed this for the past month. I have just upgrade my bios to no avail...I also had 2 boot paths (one for TuneUp 07 which I use with XP Themes) but I deleted it and that didn't do me any good either! It's not a major problem as my PC doesn't get restarted often, but I'm just wonderin' what the problem is.
So, yes, I have:
*Updated Bios
*Made sure all boot settings were correct
*Made sure I only have one boot path
*Checked my hard drive state in SpeedFan with the S.M.A.R.T. sensors
Let me know what you think and if there's anything I should try!
Thanks in advance!
