Question Help with a slow to boot PC?

My desktop PC has problem. A few weeks ago it started getting slow during boot up. It detects the CPU and displays details on the screen, then takes a long time before it proceeds. It was taking a few minutes to get past this stage.

This morning however I switched the PC on as I had half an hour before I had to leave for work... I wnent and cleaned my teeth and came back and waited about 10 minutes with no further progress... I rebooted it, but ran out of time before I had to go to work.

Any ideas what the problem could be, what to check and the best way to rectify?

Thanks,

Al.

PS. My PC BIOS details are (if they are relevant):
AWARD MEDALLION BIOS v6.0
ASUS P4S800 ACPI BIOS Revision 1006
