Hello,
I agree that it sounds like hardware. But it may be a time-out as well as a failure. Also,
a BIOS setting may have changed.
Typical time-out pauses would be for something networkish - waiting for a network
response that doesn't arrive, or another hardware device that's supposed to be present
but isn't, and hence isn't responding while the system waits in a tight loop for the response.
Good luck,
Don A
