Hi,
This message "Checking NVRam" is part of the BIOS/CMOS POST even before Windows loads up.
Offhand two things you can try:
1. Do a CMOS reset by temporarily moving the jumper near the battery to the opposite pair or by removing the Lithium battery for a couple of minutes or as prescribed by your motherboard's user manual;
2. If #1 is a no go, perhaps you should consider flashing your BIOS.
If neither works out, it is possible that you have a hardware/motherboard problem and would require replacement.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back with your motherboard brand/model, how things turn up or should you need further information.
Good luck and kind regards.

- Hi again,
Another possibility is IRQ/hardware conflict. If you have add-on cards, try switching slots where they are installed, try removing your HD, re-seat your memories.
