Dell dimension 1100 DE051 Win Xp desktop gets stuck (freezes) at Dell bios splash screen on first boot up of the day I cannot hit f2 or f12 all I can do is press and hold onto the power button to turn my pc off then turn my pc back on (2nd boot) and my pc boots up fine with no issue.
If I try to reproduce the problem I cannot. Once my pc is on I can shut it down and turn it back on with no issues what so ever. I left my pc off for 2 hrs and turned it back on and it booted up with no issues however it seems like after a certain amount of time (12 hrs or more) the pc is off and I try to turn it on in the morning each day it gets stuck loading on the the Dell bios splash screen and I cannot enter my bios setup I can only do a hard reset and reboot my machine then I am fine.
Things I tried.
. Swapped ram with a brand new stick / changed ram into different ram slot.
.changed cmos battery / reset bios
.put in brand new hard drive / ide hard drive cable.
. Changed keyboard and mouse.
I have a brand new power supply coming so I can swap out my current one.
