weird boot up problems

AMD phenom 9850 quad core
4 gig mushkin 1066 ram
MSI k9a2 platinum
2x sapphire radeon hd 3870 in crossfire

i put this computer together a few months ago and have strange hangs during boot before and after the windows load screen. The computer rips through the bios screens and then hangs on a black screen for about 40 seconds before showing the windows loading screen. When the windows screen finally shows it only takes about 3 green bars before the screen turns black again for another 40 seconds and then shows the account selection. I have no idea why it is hanging at first i though it was the old monitor it was hooked up to which makes clicking sounds before and after the hangs. The machine is also hooked up to a 42" 1080p vizio lcd tv and removing the monitor completely did not solve the problem. can anyone help?
