Hey Guys...
I am trying to diagnose why one of my rigs has different boot/startup times. Many times, it boots within 15-20 seconds. Other times, it drags on (Windows XP Blue Bar screen) for 2-3 minutes. I need to find out what is causing it and see if I can eliminate it, but I am not sure how. I think it because of a driver taking too long to initialize, but not sure.
The rig is setup as follows:
Windows XP Pro (SP2) - Single Boot
AMD X2 4800+
Abit AN8 SLI
2GB OCZ Platinum (1GBx2) DDR400
Hitachi 7K500 HDD - Sata
2 BFG 7800GTX in SLI

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
