NIKA Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I've got this strange problem that only started since I flashed the BIOS on my board and installed a Toledo X2 3800+ dual core. I had a single core A64 before that. Basically what happens is during boot, just after post just as the WinXP logo screen is about to appear everything seems to freeze for exactly 60 secs. The XP logo actually fades from black to the normal screen and the freeze occurs just as its starting to fade in, only about 10% of the logo is visible. After the freeze the boot resumes at normal speed and everything is normal. The guys over in Gaming have been trying to debug this for me but so far we haven't been able to get Windows to reveal what is making it hang during boot. I thought I'd better bring in the experts from the Windows forum So is there a way to determine what is causing the hang? _________________ low fixed rate Installment loan Shared ownership spain Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61738-windows-hanging-for-60-secs-during-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Does it hang when you insert an XP cd, or anyother bootable CD. Changes to the way hardware is handeled may cause XP to slow down at bootup. You could try formatting. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61738-windows-hanging-for-60-secs-during-boot/#findComment-437706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_olsen Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 There is a utility from Microsoft, called Bootvis, it's free and it can diagnose, optimize and log the boot process of Windows XP build 2600. Maybe it can give you some useful data Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61738-windows-hanging-for-60-secs-during-boot/#findComment-437834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baliw Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 You should do a Repair Install. Since you just popped in a new processor and flashed your BIOS the system is confused because of the new hardwares.
