Hello,
My pc was fine up until a few days ago when it decided that during POST asfter switching the system on, that it just sits and waits for just about a full 2 minutes before it actually starts to load Windows. It used to be pretty much immediate. Can't think of anything that happened that could cause it. It halts and after the wait time it then does the memory check and the backlight on my keyboard then turns on. It seems like it is waiting for something to happen and then is timing out on us and starting Windows as usual. I have checked suspects such as usb flash drives being in but I ahve removed all those and the wait still persists.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, Neil
Thanks, Pete
