Issues with my EPoX 8RDA3+ board

I just got my new board a little less than 2 weeks ago now.
Everything has been find up to this point. However, this
morning I noticed some very odd behavior: when I turned
on my PC, it just sat there for a full minute showing nothing
but the following info on the screen:

It doesn't start counting memory (like it normally does, it
doesn't continue booting, it doesn't do anything. Just sits
there for about a full minute. Then, in a rush, it shows the
full memory count (ie, it doesn't count up but just shows
the full amount), CPU real speed (which I haven't over
clocked; it's still set to the default speed) and then the board
diags (CPU temp, fan speeds, etc).
Again, this just started this morning after having no problems
for almost 2 weeks. Would would be causing something like
this to occur? What is it getting hung up there?

Also, in the board diags, it's showing the "Power Fan" as going
really slow -- about 1100 RPMs. What is that? Is that the
fan for my power supply? Why would it be going so slow?
It's a brand new Antec 400W PSU and I don't see anything
interfering with the fan at all.

A follow up on this:
I've flash upgraded to the newest version of the BIOS that is
available on EpOX's site and I'm still having this problem. So I
am not sure that the problem is the BIOS.

Any ideas as to what might be going on with my board would
be greatly appreciated!

thnx,
