1 min black screen on cold boot??
This is a discussion about 1 min black screen on cold boot?? in the Windows Software category; I have a new pc, and installed windows xp pro sp2 (with all patches). recently, there is this weird problem. when i boot, it hangs for about 1-2 minutes right before the windows XP logo with blue progress bar.
I have a new pc, and installed windows xp pro sp2 (with all patches).
recently, there is this weird problem. when i boot, it hangs for about 1-2 minutes right before the windows XP logo with blue progress bar. so basically, i get a blank screen, then the windows xp logo fades in and everything boots normally.
if i restart, there is no hang, its only if i dont use the computer for a bit.
whats happening?

Check the BIOS settings for booting order. Try putting your hdd first where the xp is installed.

ok i moved it to first boot device, and disabled all others.... no change

UPDATE:
i've realised that it only happens from a shutdown. if i shutdown my pc completely and turn it on 5 sec later, i get the black screen. if i restart from windows, instant boot...
i've also noticed that my cd-rom drive is not detected, unless i reboot.... this must be related?
