Experiencing strange startup problems about 1 in 4 times when powering up in the morning. Will get one of the following boot failures : 1. 'Overclocking failed or overvoltage failed' (I'm not overclocking) 2. \windows\system32\config\system missing (ctrl-alt-del and its fine) 3. A blank screen just prior to when XP would normally start, with a blinking cursor at the top left (although this problem has happened less than 1 and 2) - A quick tap of Ctrl-Alt-Delete gets things working without further problems. Problems might be happening more on first boot in the morning. - I can shut down, unplug, wait 30-60secs, plug power back in, start up and get running ok 10 times in row with no problems once things are running - During operation, system has spontaneously restarted twice during operation of XP pro and applications, about once per week. - All parts are brand new, brought from Newegg, put together myself. Any ideas what is causing these problems ?
