Question Freeze up at start up

Hey everybody. I have a problem with my computer it's my own build and about a year old. everything has been working good until about a month ago when I noticed this problem. It is when i turn it on, the first screen where you can go into cmos is normal but after that it goes to a black screen and freezes up there for about 3 min. then the windows xp loading screen comes up and everything is good. It's not a huge problem it's just annoying every time I start my pc up I have to wait at that blank screen for 3 min. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it so any ideas would greatly be appreciated. thanks.

Does the same thing happen if you try to boot into Safe Mode?

Run a virus and adware/spyware scan and make sure your computer is clean.

Did you install anything new right before you noticed this problem? Any new software or hardware? Did you update any drivers?
