I'm having cold boot issues, ever since I dropped my voltages.
I've dropped all my voltages to as low as they'll go whilst still being able to run prime 95 for >24 hours solid, and intel burn test etc.
For some reason, the computer won't boot from cold and has to triple boot (that's first into bios, then reboot to crash in windows and after another reboot (presumably having been warmed up enough) finally working properly).
All my voltages are at 'normal' (not auto) but with FSB 333MHz. So RAM's at +0.2V @ 1GHz (5,5,5,15) and CPU's at 1.36875V @ 3GHz.
I was wondering whether there's any particular area I should be looking at for the culprit of the instability bearing in mind my motherboard (GA-P31-DS3L), CPU (E4300 1.8GHz) and RAM (OCZ Gold 1066MHz 5,6,6,18) and the above voltages?
I did a quick Google search, and searched this forum too but couldn't find anything with similar symptoms.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be good. Otherwise it's back to testing, but with a massive cool-down period in between each set.
