Hi all,
Back in June I posted on here with some BIOS issues with my MSI Neo4 Platinum issues, after 3 months I finally got the board RMA'd and replaced.
I've been really busy so it took me a while to put the system back together, well now that its back together I have a wierd issue. If the system boots in 1024x768 mode i takes around 5 minutes to boot into Windows. Heres what happens, i boot and get the generic mobo tests, it then finds everything and goes to the next info screen (boot from cd etc), I then get the Windows XP loading screen and then it goes to another black screen after that and sits theres for around 5 minutes after which time it goes into Windows. Sometimes it won't go in at all, and i'll need to reboot and select "Start Windows with Last Known Good Configuration".
Now here is the wierd thing, if i start the PC in 1280 x 1024 no delays, and it boots fine? I say WTF?
I'm running latest video drivers from ATI, and Nforce drivers from Nvidia? What could be causing this delay? Also i'm not overclocking and running everything at default.
My system spec is here:

Any help of ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
