This system wont always cold boot - It starts with fans, hard drives spinning up, but it hangs and won't post.
It wont shut down after this so I have to unplug it, wait a couple of seconds, plug it back in and it boots. There
are no other stability issues with this system. This seems to happen after a bios upgrade; I have corrected the
problem in the past by loading safe defaults, but that does not seem to work now.
Specs: Gigabyte 7vtxh mobo, 512 Crucial DDR2100, 2 Maxtor 40gb, Pioneer DVD drive, Lite-On CDRW, Radeon 64 DDR vid card, WinXP Home SP1, Sparkle 300 PSU.
I had thought it was the PSU, but the system did the same thing when I had it in a box with an Enermax 435w PSU.
Perhaps some Suspend to Ram thing? It isn't real critical but I would like to correct it.
