Why does my computer pause for 20 seconds on the veryfying DMI pool data screen ?

[Stevepb2]

I just changed mobo's and it started after the switch, but what caused the pause, any ideas? Thanks!

Can you give some more info on the mobo and system?

did you check you little system list thing, where it puts a question mark on drives or cards not working properly, of coarse that is only with windows though. My experience is that something isn't working properly, maybe a CD-ROM drive or something like that... Mine did that after i conpletely messed up my cd-rom, probably need to check everything, if you haven't already.... the system is *probably* trying to access something or check something and it's just not responding, or not responding like the computer thinks it should...I ended up replacing my cd-rom drive, but that's just because i screwed it up...oh well

On some mobo's there is a time-out setting to allow the HD time to spool up to speed before accessing data.

I set mine to 16 seconds, why, I don't mind waiting a few seconds longer , I'd rather make sure it's wound up first.

Check that.
