Strange screen pre boot up.

What is this, marked with an arrow that appears before my PC fully loads.
I can find nothing in msconfig/system configuration.
The only thing I am not so sure about is in the general section of System configuration, 'Selective Startup' is selected as opposed to 'Normal' or 'Diagnostic' which of course I do not need.

Under msconfig what do you have under the "boot" tab?

Also, what do you have under "advanced Options" and "Boot Options"

Mine is set to selective startup with everything ticked under it

I changed motherboards at the weekend and when I booted my PC I meant to reinstall Windows but missed the boot menu, Windows booted to the desktop just fine and apart from a couple of missing drivers seemed fine.

I have discovered that things are not fine so have gone the clean reinstall path.
