PC has problems booting up.

[Skyrider]

For some odd reasons, my computer has problems lately booting up.. The computer itself starts just fine though, but check the image below:

Every time the computer is hanging up for a randomly different time. Some times it locks up for 5min, the other time for 1min. After that, it runs as normal. But most of the time it locks up for over 5min rather then a few seconds which is rather annoying. Anyone willing to help me out?

This is a guess, but maybe your hard drive is nearing the end of its life.

I highly doubt it. The PC is just new, and works fine when I'm in windows. Even some tests says the HDD's are fine. (Yes, 2 HDD's).

Did you build it yourself or bought it as a whole?
It can't be a problem with Windows or any software.
My guess with lockups before Windows starts is always the PSU.
Maybe it's too weak for your system or nearly dying.

The computer is custom made and is about a 1/2 years old. It always used to work just fine, and this problem just started recently.

Bios settings?

Has been set to default, which was the first thing I tried when this problem happened.. But the problem exists.

Like I said, it can't be a software problem. After it booted completely, does the PC run normal without slowdowns and lockups?

Yup, completely smoothly.
