Common prob. with me. Happenes @ every startup. Its nuthin but Hardware Detection. Try disabling some of the H/w which u dont use in the BIOS like the COM 1,2 ports and LPT port.

@ startup, press Del key. If your BIOS is Award BIOS, goto Integrated peripherals and go thru the list. Disable all the things which you dont need and press F10, Enter. Ur ready.
