Cold booting problem..

[frogboy]

When I boot my PC up in the morning, it will start to boot, showing Abit splash screen etc then it will just restart and start booting again..

Everytime it reboots itself it gets a bit further and then bit further, eventually until XP actual loads up completely. Once XP is loaded and its been on for 10 mins it is rock solid for the rest of the day.

Specs:

Enermax Noisetaker 370W
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2GB Crucial DDR 3200
ATI 1650XT
80GB Seagate Barracuda
160GB Seagate Barracuda
Pioneer DVD-RW

At the moment I am thinking it's the PSU, either it is not powerful enough or it's faulty. Could it be memory? but this only happens when booting, if it was memory it would randomly restart anytime..

Any thoughts.

When booting and it does this, when it reboots try hitting F8 and go into Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration it may be a recent hardware or software install.
