I tried doing the optimizations and i did a little bit of stuff with bios but i'm still having the same problem.. the computer seems to hang (for like 5 minutes) right before doing the memory testing on the initial boot up... has anyone else had this problem.. i'm thinking.. maybe the memory is too much for it something.. because i stuck in 1 gig of ram... maybe i should just try and go back to the original 256 low profile memory that it came with... any suggestions?

 

perhaps this is a CAS latency issue? anyone think this is possible? dunno.. throwing it out there. I have this picture in my head of some bizzare-o low profile memory with a CAS of like 3 or something non-common.

 

Really want to see this new screen. Is it styled any different? Very happy to hear that one is coming out.

 

might be late for the solution but it could be your AV software trying to scan a floppy drive. The two most popular programs are defaulted to do this even if you have no floppy.
