After the BIOS messages are complete, which themselves actually are a little slow compared to my other PCs, there is a black screen with nothing happening for about 2.5 minutes, then all the boot messaging starts (I have set it to verbose boot up) and it takes another 1.5 minutes or so to complete.
I hope someone can suggest some clues as to what the problem is, below I have pasted details that are probably helpful, please let me know if you need any other details. Thanks very much in advance.
