My parents' PC does this all time, its just started bothering me now:
After I press the power on button a black screen comes up with only one white _ character.
This screen is present for seconds, maybe 10 seconds or so.
After this black screen it displays for a moment the "Press F2 to enter setup" screen, and then the system boots normally.
My question is, what is that black screen and why does it takes a lot of time? How can I get rid of it?
Intel D945GCLF + Intel Atom N230
EDIT
The problem is only present, when a Logitech Webcam (USB) is plugged. If I unplug it, the boot is really fast!
What can I do? (Besides unplugging the webcam, and only plug it when needed.)
