Hello. Having an issue with my computer hanging up and rebooting on startup. Ive noticed when its cold it will do this. When warmed up seems to act normal. If I unplug it and restart it will usually fire up with the usual "computer has been shut down suddenly.."goes through the disk check then starts. I do get a message saying "Multiple bios attempts have failed..memory timings have been reset to automatic settings"
Have tested the memory with Memtest and everything was fine. Ran Adaware with no threats. Could be the video card?
Any help is appreciated.
Here is the Hijackthis log..
