Major Delays in POST bootup

[hatchi]

I have a KX800S Pro m/b with Athlon2200+.. Phoenix bios... just recently the POST startup has been taking upto 7 minutes to boot up. seems to be on the 'testing memory' section. Have tried to update the bios, but no recent updates available...

Welcome to the forums!

Test the memory with memtest86+.
You could disable the memory check in the bios.

Do you know of a version of memtest that does not require to be booted from?
