A8V Startup question- very long boot time

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi all,

since 2 days my before good working system has very long times on the
BIOS startup screen where you see the logo A8V Deluxe.

After minutes it does boot.

I noticed it said CMOS bad crc.

After this problem appeared I cleared CMOS by pulling the battery and
installing afterwards.

I get no warning anymore. But the boot time remains very long.

What could be the problem and how could I solve this?

Regards

Rene
