Motherboard Splash Screen

[BbBoS]

I need some help, my mum's pc sometimes gets stuck on the motherboard splash screen and its only happened recently. Her computer is about 2 / 2.5 years old and it just seems kind off random to do this all of a sudden considering no settings have been changed lately.

Specs are

Asus P5D Motherboard (Not sure which version)

Core 2 Duo Conroe 2.13Ghz (One of the older models, not sure specifically)

2 x 1GB DDR 2 RAM

Sapphire X1950 512mb

320gb Hard drive

Not sure on anything else, but what do you guys think could be causing this, should I reset CMOS or something like that?

Could try resetting the CMOS. Remove all USB devices and try start up the computer.

maybe its the HDD if its sticking maybe try take 1stick of RAM out then boot.

Yea I think its the HDD because it won't work in my PC

And if I take 1 stick of ram out how does that affect the HDD from working?

Thanks for you help though

He said about the RAM since it could of been either. I had this problem and it ended up being the USB's. There was a bios update which fixed the problem.
