Hi,

Every time I boot, (when it reaches WAIT), it freezes for a half
minute or so. If I first press DEL and go into BIOS instead, the BIOS
loadup freezes there also for about the same time length.


I tried setting BIOS to DEFAULT, also tried setting MAXIMUM. Also
looked at every single line throughout my entire BIOS to check for the
possible cause.

Anyone have a clue for me? Besides a boat anchor, I mean.

Thanks...Mike Change .com - to .net if responding.

You might want to mention what hardware and software you are using...
