Ok so first of all here are my systems specs:
AMD A64 3000 939
512mb crucial ballistics
160gb seagate hd w/ncq (not enabled)
dfi nf4-d
xfx 6600gt pcie
450 watt enermax psu
xp pro w/sp2
nvidia forceware 66.6 nforce 4 drivers
Ok my problem is that randomly when I start windows it takes way too long. Sometimes it boots right up just fine but the majority of the time it gets to the screen where the little bar is moving across the screen. All the sudden my hard drive light will blink like mad on and off as fast as it can in a perfect pattern. It will just sit their doing this for about 30 sec then it turns solid and I hear it start working and it boots up just fine. And when I uninstall then reinstall the nvidia motherboard drivers the problem will go away but only for a couple of reboots. And ideas?
