PC help

I know this isn't completely on topic, but was hoping somebody here could help me out. So I reformatted my PC today and installed WinXP SP3 and am experiencing some serious issues. It is taking 20-30 minutes for windows to boot into the login in screen, but runs perfectly fine after that. It will either lock up at the very beginning when it shows the bios/cpu information, or right before the login screen it will give me a black screen and sit there for 20+ minutes. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Why did you reformat? Just curious.
Otherwise, that's a new one on me. When you formatted the computer, did you completely reformat it? Like zeroed it out?
I would see if there is a bios update for the motherboard.
