boot up problems. VERY annoying!!!!!!
For about 4 days now my PC has been having boot up problems, it starts to boot then it seems like it re-sets, starts again, blah, sometimes it takes about 3-4 mins to finally start up. its as stable as it was before once its actually booted up, has anyone got any ideas as to wtf is going on? i.e hardware or bios?
i blame the gf..

you can do that, which would narrow it down to video card, memory, cpu, and motherboard (maybe power supply).
But it doesn't freeze up in Windows (or do anything else stupid).
Windows is very sensitive to memory problems. So, if Windows is ok once everything boots, it can't be memory.
Is there any video corruption? A dying video card will typically make your display act stupid. Wierd characters displaying, colors showing wrong, color bleeding into each other, artifacts on the screen, etc. If you don't have this, it's probably not the video card.
CPU. If there are major CPU issues, windows will crash constantly. Probably not CPU-related.
Leaving motherboard and power supply.
Or pc world.
