    Computer hangs after displaying Windows logo splash screen on cold start.

    Takes about 20 minutes to load windows on cold start. Windows XP SP3, Dell Dimensions 3100 Desktop. This only happens when it's been off for 3-4 hours or longer. It also hangs on restart if it has been on for less than 1 hr.
