Just a small annoyance I'd like to get rid off: my PC always "hangs" for about 15 seconds after the PCI device listing, before MS DOS starts. I have no idea what it's doing. It always takes the same amount of time, so it looks like it's waiting for something. Boot order is C,A. Floppy seek on boot is disabled. During this time, there's no disk activity. Disabling the floppy and the D drive in the BIOS also doesn't change anything. After this pause, everything works well. Does anyone know what it could be doing during that time? The motherboard is an Asus P5A-B, with Award BIOS. I am including a screen shot I took while it hangs/pauses/waits, that also provides some additional info on my PC.
