Hey folks. I've flashed my BIOS with 1901 however I have trouble cold booting into Windows XP Pro. The computer loads into Windows fine after a warm boot but It always fails on a cold boot. I have recently purchased a new SATA II Seagate harddrive which I run Windows from but I doubt it is the problem and also the S.M.A.R.T status for this drive doesn't state anything out of the ordinary. I've seen a thread about this on the Asus forums (clicky) but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

This morning I tried booting into Windows, the room temp is around 15c. First off the windows loading screen appeared and a second later my screen turned black, everything remained on. I restarted and this happened again. I went into BIOS and reviewed my settings, mostly everything is default and nothing has been overclocked. I tried starting up again and selected the "use recommended configuration that worked last time". This is seriously getting a on my nerves. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
