Help...hanging on startup requiring soft reset

I've been having this annoying problem and I hope some of you can help me with. My rig (listed below) started to freeze during various stage of power on... most of the time at the scrolling window start up screen or the welcome screen. If I reset the system, it would boot to window and is rock stable after that.

I don't overclock. Heat is acceptable according to mbm, beside its a problem only at startup.
I checked my rams with memtest and prime95 which can run for hours without error.
I reformat and reinstall xp pro sp1a and the problem persist.
I chkdsk the harddisk and everything reported as fine.

Is it a power supply problem or motherboard problem or harddrive?

AMD 2600 barton
asus a7n8x deluxe v 1.4
corsair value ram 512mb x2
geforce 4 ti4200
maxtor 160mb, 8mb cache
pioneer dvd drive
liteon 52x cdrw
antech trupower 330w
lian li pc60 aluminum case

Thanks for the help in advance
 
Try running the full diagnostic on the hard drive and see if it is ok. Also, did you install the latest chipset drivers for you motherboard?
