PC is stalling before motherboard screen

[loverboy12]

So my pc started freezing up for about 45 seconds when i boot up on a black screen with a underscore bar on the top left corner and a B4 at the bottom right corner. Then it boots up normally with no problems. If anyone has seen this prob and knows a solutions pls inform me.

First things first, dont sound like its a major issue tbh, seen this on many computers.

If you are worried however, check event logs and run a CHKDSK.

maybe try default bios settings, but defiantly check the hard drives, my windows did a similar thing 2 days before a hard drive completely failed, it wasnt the boot drive either :S
