Since you do not have any other problems except the 90 second or so buzz,
your situation is different than Walter's. In your case, I would suspect
that the CD player is trying to see if a CD is present from which to boot.
Go into your BIOS at the beginning of the boot process and see what the boot
order of your drives is. Unless you intend upon occasionally booting from a
CD, eliminate it from the boot order or place it last in the boot order.
I hope this helps.

I have a similar problem. I have a relatively new dual core 2.8 Gz Pentium
4 which buzzes/whirs very loudly "sometimes" upon startup and lasts about 90
seconds. There appears to be no deleterious effect on the ability of the pc
to boot or function. Actually, the sound goes away before the boot is
finished.
I have switched out the power supply and disconnected all drives and fans to
verify the noise does not come from one of those. That pretty much leaves
the CPU as the culprit. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has
heard of a similar problem and the resolution.
