I have built a new computer which is about 4 months old now; the specs of the computer are the following:

• AMD Athlon™ 64 3800+ Processor Retail (939) Dual Core
• ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 nForce 4 Motherboard
• 2048M (2X1024Mb,2G Kit)PC3200 DDR RAM Kingston/Kingmax
• Seagate SATAII NCQ 320GB 7200RPM 16mb Cache
• Gecube Radeon X1300Pro HDMI DDR2 256MB HDMI/DVI/HDTV

I have windows XP installed on the machine and everything work exceptionally well except for when it starts up. When it loads Windows on start-up with the blue progress bar showing windows is loading it hangs there for about 4-5min. Once that time is up however and Windows has loaded the computer works fine. I checked the event viewer and it was spitting out the following error 8-10 times when Windows hung while it was loading (blue progress bar)

I have done some research and windows support is no help and it seems many other people are having the same problem in forums however I couldn't find any solutions. I did the usual debugging and ran scan disk etc and no bad sectors were found. Because all the hardware is new I changed my hard drive anyway under warranty installed the new one and it still does it, I am inclined to think that there is a problem with the motherboard or ram and think it is a compatibility problem or a software problem.

If anyone has the solution I would be sooooo grateful, this has been giving me headaches.

Wish I could help you on that, but I don't know.
If you're uncomfortable with the answer at the nVidia site, you may want to ask over in the Hardware TA - lots of Guru's over there for this kind of stuff.
