Boot up problem

(XP Home, fairly new system) Sometimes-about 1 in 7 boot-ups or reboots-
the windows splash screen starts out very faded, and remains very faded for
a long time (much longer than the duration of splash in a normal boot). Only
then does the splash reach normal brightness and then everything proceeds
ok. Otherwise the comp works well. I am worried that this is a hardware
problem that could get worse. Any suggestions?
