PC takes hours to start.

[r00ts]

Well.
I dont know why this has happen.
I was thinking of burn my pc but its still working.
Just a big problem it takes hours to start it.

When i start it i see the Motherboard image where i can click TAB or DEL.
This is where the PC pauses for hours. Some times its just 20 minutes but most of the time i live the PC started over the night so its started in the morning.

Well its paues at the mother board image and when it makes the next step like showing all the messages like how much memory i have and more it just continues and starts as noormal @ normal speed.

The issue is that it gets stuck at that motherboard image for some hours.

What could be the problem?

there may be two problems
1) Check The Cable To the Hard disk ... Specially The Data Cable
2) Check The Cable To CD/DVD Rom.
P.S. You Can Check that By Remove the Cable and see if the PC starts normally Or What

Is your beeper connected to your motherboard, is there any sound coming from it?
Have you tried resetting your BIOS, by moving jumper on board from 1-2 to 2-3 position for 10 seconds, and return it? Usually, under that pin, it's marked and CLEAR_CMOS, try finding it, and reset BIOS.

All HDDs are reformated.

1 Win XP
2 Ubuntu
3 Kubuntu

I have tryed with booting with different HDDs ( only 1 hdd @ the moment )

#2 & #3
Its no nothing to the with operating system of files.
If you didnt get me i tell you again.
When u press start button you usually get a image of your motherboard saying what motherbord u have.
This is where its freezes for hours. But when its pass the image its starts quick as usuall.

It has something to do with start up, it maybe checks something @the start, and maybe those things arnt working correctly?

have you recently updated any BIOS ? or try to download and flash the latest bios update.

If any additional expansion card installed (vga card, sound card, tv tuner card) remove those and check it
