Here is the situation:

My dad calls me up and tells me that his computer is not working after a brown out occurred. Well I check it out and it is taking forever to boot up. It pauses just after it flashes the video card information but before it checks the ram or the ide connections. After about 10 min waiting there it boots fine and will go into windows xp where everything appears to be normal. I was wondering what could the cause of this problem be?

Specs:

Processor: AMD XP 2600
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7N400-L1
Video Card: Geforce FX 5200
Sound: Soundblaster Live
OS: Windows XP

Any input would be truly appreciated

Thanks for all the help but I was able to fix the problem. Basicly I just removed all the components and added them one at a time until there was no more problem. Everything seems to be working fine now. Once again I just want to thank everyone who took the time to help out.
