Would hang for at least 30 minutes saying "Applying Computer Settings...". It would never go to the login screen. I gave up a couple times and cut the power to try booting up again. I noticed that my FSB frequency would keep moving to the wrong setting everytime I cut the power. I finally booted into safe mode and found that my clock was also resetting back to the year of my last bios update. 2003. Yes, it's time to flash the bios. I had a dead battery on the motherboard. Replaced the battery, set the clock to the correct time and it booted up and went immediately to the login screen. It was the date/time causing the wait... Problem solved.
