Default POST startup problem

I usually get a initial screen, makers bios etc, then the post screen with
drives, ports etc, then when I image POST is finished, I get the Win Logo
etc and all goes fine.
But often the screen pauses indefinitely on the post screen and the sys does
not go into windows.
Sometimes too I do not get the post screen, the sys just goes straight to
win logo.
I have run SFC, etc, and looked carefully at the sys bios screen, I have
taken the floppy drive at seek out etc, "Quick POST" is ticked. sometimes
the sys logs on OK, usually it is slow, but then when it hangs, I have to
deep boot to get it going.
Any ideas please ?

Possibly a flat CMOS battery.... Possibly a stuffed BIOS......
It's hard to diagnose..... It's one of those problems where you need to remove components and try them in another similar
machine....
