This just started happening to me the other day. I will turn it on, and the BIOS will POST, but it takes about 3 minutes to detect the IDE drives. Once it detects them, it takes another 2 or 3 minutes before the next screen appears(the plug n play screen, the one after bios but before the windows logo).
I am not overclocking, I have gotten my FSB up to 170 but put it back at 166 and been running it at stock clock speeds for about a month now. nothing has changed so why its doing it now I dont know.. I have not been inside the case to mess with any of the cables since I built it around March..
I upgraded to BIOS 3.5, and I still get it every now and then, actually, it has only happend twice to me, once last sunday and once just right now.
going into the CMOS(which is as slow as the detection of the drives) and loading the defaults doesnt work.. I had to turn it comepletely off for a couple minutes and reboot and it worked both times.
Specs
XP2700, 512 DUAL DDR400 running at 333, WD 80gigw/the 8meg buffer on ide0, cd plextor burner and reg cdrom on the second. There is no revision number on the MOBO, it just says K7N2G
Any I deas what it is? I hope its not the harddrive. Id rather it be the MOBO so I could return it and hopefully get it replaced with the one that officially supports 400FSB.
