Freeze when booting up

[lockcole]

I am on FreeBSD 7.1-p2 and I found that my machine has somewhat random freeze when in boot manager or boot menu.
I have noticed that if I press ENTER in boot menu count down. There will be higher chance to freeze.

I have searched around for information and the following thread discussed the situation that is very close to mine.

In manolis@'s post:

I've noticed that it tends to freeze more if you press enter during the 10 second countdown in the loader. I shortened the delay to 3 seconds but I do not press enter there anymore

The only different is that my machine is not Acer Aspire One but an Intel motherboard with ATOM CPU.

Is there any suggestion about this problem?
Or any possible reason for the problem is also appreciated.

Thanks very much.
