G'day David.
The holdup is either after the BIOS has loaded or is during the BIOS load up
period. It is difficult to tell as it simply shows a blank screen with a
flashing cursor in the top left hand corner.
Ironically, when starting the machine today it started with minimal hesitation.

Hey Bryn,
The flash cursor gives me a little more information so thanks for that. :)
Sounds like the hard drive isn't being detected during startup. To be more
specific it sounds like it isn't mounting the drive correctly.
This could be a motherboard issue or it could be an issue with the bios
