-------------------------

When I boot or reboot my screen remains black for about 3-5 minutes and then Windows will boot.

I do not see my boot screen (where it says "Press DEL to enter BIOS"), nor am I able to boot into Safe Mode holding down the F8 key.


Any ideas on what could possibly be causing this?

The system is brand new, and windows was just installed for the first time about 4 days ago. I have never been able to enter BIOS or start in Safe Mode.

I am using Avast, but there are no scheduled boot scans.

No text or anything goes by in the 3-5 minutes, it's just a solid black screen during that time, then boots into Windows 7.

I've not tried to reinstall the video drivers yet. I am using the most current drivers for my video card though. Once the computer boots, I don't have any issues with games / movies or anything. I'm not too sure that would be the cause? >_<
 

I don't think it could be removed. Once it is awarded the best answer, it is the system generated msg, as solved and I can't edit that out. But I will help u out with this.
