Long wait until POST...
- by Wesley
Here are the specs to put things into context:
ECS P4VXASD2+ (V5.0) motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8 GHz (512 KB L2, 533 MHz FSB)
2x 512 MB PC2100 DDR266 RAM
128 MB NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 AGP
WD Caviar SE 80 GB IDE HDD
Gigabyte CD-RW drive
OKIA 300W ATX PSU
So, everytime I try to boot up this computer, it takes at least 10-15 seconds before it will POST. All my other machines will post within 1-2 seconds, but this one takes a particularly long time.
I've read suggestions from a Google search to swap the CMOS battery, check BIOS settings, and double check CMOS jumper. Still after follow those, it takes a while to POST.
What else could be causing a long delay before POSTing?
