Slow load before Post.

Title says it all.

The computer was working fine until last week. Now it hangs on the motherboard logo screen.

It's a Gigabyte GA-somethingorother motherboard with C2D E8200. 3 GB RAM and 9600GSO graphics card.

Housemates.

Any ideas?

Re: Slow load before Post.

Can you get into the BIOS ?

It might just be dirt / thermal creep

I would open it up give it a good spring clean and re-seat all the connectors esp the memory

If that fails then unplug everything and just have

CPU
1 memory slot
HDD

Run off Integrated Graphics if poss. Then slowly add components
