Reads as though you have a CPU problem that could have over heated or not working properly and the other cause is that you have a bad motherboard.

I had a similar situation. The best answer I can give you is that it can be caused by residual voltage in places like the video card or possibly the memory. But since your trouble is usually on a cold boot, I assume if you shut down and right backon it works? The only thig I can think of is the cmos battery charging something or a power supply that doesn’t shut all the way down. Try removing power (unplugging) the power supply and see if it will boot then.

The motherboard has intergrated video. I tried another video card…same results. It was worth a try though, didn’t think of that right off.
