Annoying windows xp hang up at boot up

Hi,

Recently, I updated my computer with a new motherboard,
casing and cpu. (See *** below for more details)

Since this time, I have the following 2 boot up problems
with windows XP Pro.

- The blue progress bar stop moving on the first windows xp pro
boot up screen (windows xp on the black background right after the
operating system choice)
- Sometime I just see a fade image of this boot up screen ...

After 2 or 3 reboot, the computer boot up normally.
(Same things for cold and hot reboot)

Here's some things I tried in order to solve the problem
without any sucess:

- Re-install windows xp on a new partition
- Try another set of ram
- Upgrade all drivers and BIOS to the latest available
- Lower the AGP to 4X instead of 8X
- Disable the option fast write for my video card
- Verify the HD for bad cluster
- Try safe and optimize BIOS setting

Except this annoying problem, everything works very stable
after the system complete the boot up !

Here's my computer parts in detail:

*** MSI K7N2 Delta2 LSR
*** AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Kingston value 512 megs
WD 120 gig HD IDE
Asus Geforce 6600 AGP (8X)
*** Antec Sonata II with smartpower 450 watts PS
Creative labs SB audigy 2 value
Benq DVD writer
Mitsumi floppy + memory card reader

I really appreciate if someone could takes some times to help
me ;-)

Thanks in advance,
Pierre-Etienne

Hi Pierre. If your confident your power supply and other hardware is OK. Try
starting in Safe Mode (dab F8 On startup) see if it boots alright then.

I'm reaching, but try setting your network connection for a static IP
instead of dynamic. If your PC is having problems getting an IP it will
cause the boot to be slower.

In safe mode, the computer hang just after loading giveio.sys.
After 2 or 3 reboot the computer boot up normally in safe mode ...

I disabled giveio.sys using device manager but this not solve my problem.

Any idea ?

Thanks,
Pierre-Etienne

Hi P. just have a look at this site\item, it tells you a bit about
giveio.sys.
http://www.forth.com/archive/swiftx/2002/0088.html
You could try disabling it in system management, Or unplugging your modem,
etc.
See if you can localise the problem.

I know it's been a long time since this post, but I have the exact same problem.
Have you figured it out?

Hello,
I have the Same Problem. As soon as RAM Reading screen and bios options passes. Windows XP Loading Screen Comes up. And then slowely slowely it feds and nearly become dark screen. Then after nearly 3-5 minutes it starts loading and animation bar starts. Then windows XP loads. Windows XP itself works very well once started. I didnt have this problem before but since i changed my motherboard to FoxConn i started getting these problems. Any help will be very much appreciated.
