Problem just appeared about a week ago:

I turn on the PC. The video card info appears and disappears as usual.
The CPU info shows up . . . and stays for about 16-17 seconds!!
Then the memory test begins.

In the past, the CPU info will only be on the screen for about 3-4 seconds before the boot process continues--why the increased time??

MSI Geforce2 Pro with 21.88 drivers
WinXP Home

The problem appeared a few days after I "upgraded" to WinXP, but that could be a coincidence. Any help appreciated.
