ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

********EDIT - I had a look on the first page and will check the tips&tricks there to see if they solve my problems - sorry! ********
Hi - 337 pages is to much info to browse so I will post my question and hopefully someone who know their way around this thread can help me out....

So I have had this mobo since 2006 with XP and now with Win7, my problem began when I had XP installed and it is that boot time is very long:
In XP it took 60-120 s after bios was read and initiated until I got to the logon screen for XP - always waiting with a black screen.

In Win7 everything runs smothly until I get to the Windows is starting text and here I have a long waiting time until the Windows Logo swirls into view.

Any thoughts? UPNP OS is enabled, Disabled 3,5" unit - as far as I can tell anyway.

Regards,
N
