Okay so I didn't see my problem when I searched it so if it has been addressed please point me in the right direction. My system hangs on the black screen with the underscore which looks like a dos prompt screen but it's just after the POST and before the mobo boots the os. The hang time is roughly 3-8 min I haven't quite timed it but it's somewhere around there. I've tried updating the bios, resetting all of the bios settings to default, and am going to try a CMOS clear soon. The mobo has the hdd led on till after the "press del for bios" screen goes away. I've tried using a different hard drive without the other one connect nothing changed. I can access the hard drive just fine after the OS boots. So I'm at a loss as to why there's such a big hang time between the POST and the os boot. Oh almost forgot the POST beeps are ordinary meaning nothings wrong according to the beeps.
I need to update my sig cause it's a little out of date everything but the memory and hard drive setup is correct.
*edit sig is fix. Also almost forgot this started a while after everything was settled in so it wasn't an immediate problem.
Thanks,
