Strange boot issues
Okay, I've been having some interesting boot issues with my current Windows 7 machine. If I restart my machine it can boot up fine. If I turn the machine off for a certain amount of time (4+ hours) it has issues booting up again. I get bsods like crazy claiming that it's the memory.
When this happens (turning on the computer after 4+ hours) I'll run Memtest86+ for around 2-3 hours. There will be no errors. I will then restart and boot the machine up and BAM windows will load with no issues.
It's as if my memory needs to be "warmed up" and it can't boot from a cold boot. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be? Is it simply the memory?
