System Specs
Literally overnight (14/17 to 18/05) the system began a very odd problem:
On boot, single normal beep (no beep code), POST begins. It stops at the "Memory Testing" line, but not always (Sometimes, though a minority of the time, it stops at the line with the CPU's identification, something like "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 2800). It waits for 3 to 4 minutes.
Then it goes on normally, trough to the OS selection screen(I have dual boot on 1 HDD, 2 partitions, both WinXP professional). I pick one (Same problem with both). The splash screen "Microsoft Windows XP" that has the blue bar at the lower middle, does not appear. The systems sits for a normal amount of time (20-30 seconds) at a blank screen. It goes through to the login screen, and everything is normal while the system is on.
