Yes Babs I have seen this as well, but with this P4 in
particular I am
seeing boot times stretch out to 4 minutes. Sometimes the
POST screen
comes up 2-3 times, sometimes just the 1 time. It makes no
sense.
I've changed all the ribbons and connectors, swapped out all
components.
Did this all in 2 separate houses and it still baffles me,
so I'll wait
and see what fails altogether.
