When I turn on my computer my computer stops on the Intel screen. It only shows Bios Set-up. After a minute or so the computer starts up. I have no idea what would be causing this. Any info will help.

Sounds like the BIOS is testing your memory. Go into the BIOS and select "skip memory testing". Good Luck.

Hi
Ok thats a systemboard , error . Sometimes when theres a problem with either the IRQ , DMA or address from the systemboard , it stop on the boot screen and the goes on. Now you can try to do a flah-bios or you can take out the cmos battery and put it back , that will clear the cmos and let you start config of the hardware again

I think the problem is cable select on ide devices. in a ide cable when a cable gets cut, the device wont be able to cable select just make the top one slave and the botton one master or vice versa and change the setting in the bios. this might solve th probles. I had the same problem with my dell but my devices worked fine after the transistion

Sounds like your bios needs updating, or you have a drive that is not setup correctly in bios.

You got anything in a cd or floppy drive? It might be trying to find something bootable somewhere

You may have a disk in the floppy drive.
You may have to update your bios
of if that doesn't work you have have a dead motherboard, ram or hard drive
