Boot stays for 4 - 5 minutes with a screen showing post code 95. After that the system starts normally.

Try a different keyboard.
95 is "Instructing keyboard controller to run Self Test (PS2 only)"
Also, what is your bios rev?

5A is "Resetting PATA/SATA bus and all devices"
You could have a HDD or even a CD/DVD drive that is dragging down your system. Unplug ALL unnecessary drives and boot.

The problem was solved and as I could see, it was related to some kind of corruption or bug associated with SATA DRIVES CONFIGURATION. The Parameter HARD DISK PRE-DELAY was set to ZERO (0), the default value. I changed it to 5 (five seconds) and after that, the POST time was reduced to 7 seconds, including the 5s of the hard-disk pre-delay parameter. After that, I returned the parameter to the default value ZERO (no delay) and Windows boot time returned to normal (before the problem).
OBS: The problem started after a video card replacement (the old one was defective).
I´d like to thank you for all your support and help.
Fábio.
