ASROCK K7S8XE - boot problem

ASROCK K7S8XE motherboard with Athlon 2500 XP+

Running XP Pro, SP2

System won't reboot until you reboot it 4 times (that's a hard reset
using the main power switch)

Upon the fourth reboot the POST stuff comes up with a message to the
effect that "The system has been unable to boot several times, hit F2
key to enter BIOS". Then the system comes up fine. I can't find
anything obvious in the BIOS settings...Help!?!
