Is it happening every time? Have you ran updates lately on hardware or software and has it only started happening since then? First thing is to try and pinpoint when it started happening...if you do that then you might know what is then causing it.

Just thought... check out whether there is an update for your BIOS on the manufacturers website as well.

Go into the machine boot up section and turn off all boot options apart from the HD and try booting with that, see what happens

If it's hanging during the BIOS boot up it sounds as though it's looking at another source to boot from, or a piece of equipment is slow/defective. Mine takes ages to boot if I leave an SD card in the reader, even though it's set to boot from the HD only, it deffo sounds like there's a problem with the equipment check the BIOS does.
