Hi,

Thanks for the replies. It appears that my motherboard still has that 'cold boot' problem', as sometimes I have to hit reset for it to boot normally. When I installed my new Athlon XP 1700+ on the motherboard, I accidentally installed the memory backwards, I turned off the computer inmediately, and when I took out the memory it smelled like smoke, could this be the cause of my problem? I have no stability problems, but this 'cold boot' problem have not happened to me before.

Thanks.
