Almost without exception, *every other* time I turn on the computer, it reboots right after Windows starts loading (as soon as the Windows 7 animation starts). Then Windows asks if I want to start normally etc, and then it crashes again when I continue and so on for ever. If I power the computer off (using the regular front panel button) and then turn it back on, everything works fine.
Once the computer has booted up it's rock solid. I haven't had a single problem in weeks (including Prime95). When it's in its bad state, if I stick a Memtest CD in instead of letting it start loading Windows, the memory tests fail badly.
I have unlocked the two extra cores on the X2, but it's doing this when using just the two cores also. I haven't done any overclocking yet, or messed with the memory timings (the memory is current running with the default settings 1333 MHz unganged, not sure about exact timings).
Any ideas??
