Hello folks,
I have a problem. I've just recently built my new comp, which contains some of the following:
Abit AN7 motherboard stock bios from 3/2004 #15
2 X 512 A Data 3200 DDR ram @ stock
Mobile Athlon XP 2400+ 45 watt @ whatever
Western Digital 80SE
LiteON DVD Burner
and so on and so fourth...
My problem is that no matter what bios settings I change, there is a 15-22 second pause between starting to load XP Pro. Let me explain. The bios where it checks the memory and speed comes up uber fast. It hits the other screen where drives and memory are displayed also. But then it proceeds to go to a black screen for the aforementioned time allocation and THEN finally starts loading XP. I figured this would be because the main drive wasn't set to hard disk, but changing it does nothing. There shouldn't be a long wait. My bro's machine, which cost $350 and has a SiS 745 Ultra mobo loads faster than this. I know it's a fixable little issue that some have had. PLEASE for the love of God, help me.
