are you using XP "Performance edition? " if so get rid of it. Its basicly a hacked up OS with lots of things removed and tweeked to enhance performance... but my experience has been a sour one with it. I had that on my machine, and bootimes kicked up into the 2 minutes sometimes just staying at the black screen with no activity as if waiting for something to finalize before continuing to boot.
the only other thing i can thing are flaky vid drivers or loose cable.
