Emachine Bios logo sloooooow

[shafe88]

I have a e machine w3503, and lately the E logo that you see when you first turn the computer on stays on longer than normal. Before it would only show for 10 sec now it shows for 30sec to 1min.

Some BIOS have a customizable amount of time for you to select BIOS settings or boot menu, so you might want to check that. Also some BIOS have quick boot, so maybe it was on and somehow it got turned off.

If you haven't recently changed anything in the BIOS then it is probably not this, but it is worth a check anyway.

I have not changed any thing in bios except that I disabled the rear fan speed controller which I disabled 4 years ago when I installed a new video, but I did notice that once in awhile that when windows boots, I don't the xp load screen just a blank screen and I haft to manually reboot my computer down via the power button. I know the blank screen is not a virus as it has done this with a fresh install of windows xp and once with grub boot loader.
