Cool Anyone Have ANY Idea How i Can Fix This? Would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey, well...this is not a major porblem...but it would be nice if i could get it figured out.
Well, what happenes is when i boot up my computer it stops at this:
'Prcessor: AMD Atholon (tm) 64x2 Duel Core Processor 3800+ '
and then it just stops booting and i have to press enter before it carrys on.

Does anyone know of how i can just get it to boot up normally ie. without me having to press enter all the time?

If so, your help is much appreciated

Thanks

What does the enter key do? Is there some sort of message on the screen asking for confirmation? more details please.

Please post the complete system specs for this computer. List all the parts by brand and model including the power supply.

Is this a brand new build or did you have this computer for awhile and the problem started recently?

Hey, the specs are:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64x2 Duel
Core Processor 3800+
2.01GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
geforce 7300gt 256mb gfx card
Motherboard model: Gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2G

Yes this is a brand new computer, built it with a friend.
And i have had this same problem for awhile actually, in my old computer it did the same thing. I really am curious to know whats causing it and if i could fix it somehow. If you have ANY ideas...that would be greatful!

You said DUEL 3 times in this thread. It's DUAL, not DUEL

DUEL: To engage (another) in or as if in formal combat.
DUAL: Composed of two usually like or complementary parts.

check in the BIOS for a fast boot option or some other type of confirmation of the boot process or testing of ram.

Wildwood,
Do you know the BIOS rev. level of your motherboard? There are several updates that are recent on the Gigabyte website.
