I tried before answering. When i select normal boot from the F8 menu, then it immediately loads the win logo and normal boot. But sometimes, i could not see the green light also some times. It auto switch off . I have to press the power on again. Once it boots, if i press f8 and choose normal mode, then window boots without the minus cursor blinking at top left.
But when i boot normally, i come across this behaviour
f8->normal mode: it's ther same as not pressing F8 at all!
so vursor wait is BEFORE the boot menu. Same problem when doing reboot?
Hi, Yes on rebooting also. Is it normal windows boot waiting time?
No not normal, but why are you blaming win7? It occurs BEFORE displaying the boot menu, so has nothing to do with win7.
Power on machine, then press the key to enter BIOS (which key it is, will be displayed for a short time). Then just wait a minute. Now press the key to exit those settings (most likely ESC button). Same problem?
Do you have a bootable CD or DVD? If so... try to boot from it... same problem?
Hi, Sir,
I am not blaming win 7. I have noticed the cursor before booting. Sometime, the on power on the power switch, green light auto off itself. I surfed thro net for this behaviour. It may be possible that enough power is not provided for booting, or ram defective or mother board is over heated.
If it is normal to boot after one minute, then it is ok , sir.
I never blame win 7. I also read that timeout at boot menu is set to 30 seconds and this may be the reason for the cursor. Thank you, for your racer quick pertinent answers. I will check those things also.
It could possibly be caused by:
- Failing HDD
- Corrupted/wrong motherboard storage driver
- Lose power connections on your HDD or any component (e.g. other HDD, CD/DVD, etc.)
- Lose data connections on your HDD or any component (e.g. other HDD, CD/DVD, etc.)
It is new hard drive.
How this have anything to do with cd dvd connection? please explian.
I am having the problem of over heating in cpu temp.
You could just be unlucky and your new drive is twitchy.
Here are some links:

Testing a computer hard drive for failures.
How to See if Your Hard Drive is Dying with S.M.A.R.T.
I bought an external HDD that was broken before I even opened the box (it could not be formatted).
A couple of years ago I noticed a random startup delay on my system.
I eventually noticed that whenever a delay occurred one of my DVD drives wasn't working.
I determined that the cause was a dodgy power connection to the drive.
When I used a different power connection the issue stopped.
My hypothesis is that the BIOS was having issues detecting the drive and that was causing the delays.
Based on that experience, I suspect that dodgy power connections to any component in your PC could possibly cause startup delays.
