Cold Boot Problems
I've recently upgraded from my G4 4200ti to a FX 5700ultra and am now
stumped by a constant cold boot problem.The system will not post when cold without playing with the reset button and turning off the switch on the power supply a few times.The monitor light stays orange during the problem.Once the system boots all is fine until the next cold boot.My first thoughts were that my generic 550 watt power supply was to blame but have since replaced it with an Antec 400 watt.I still get the same results.I've reseated the card and memory several times also but still no luck.I've tried upping the agp voltage also. I sometimes get a strange "feedback" type of sound through the pc speaker(?) during the problem also if that helps.I've tried a replacement 5700 ultra as well as a FX 5600 and nothing changes.I'm hoping somebody here can help me cure this problem.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Start by unplugging the CD, DVD and non-boot Hard drive... unplug the IDE
and power connectors... Any better? If yes then reconnect them one-by-one... could be a PSU issue or a drive. If no then also unplug Sound card and half the RAM.... any better? If the PC with only 1 RAM stick, CPU, boot hard-disk and FX5700 has problems its probably BIOS settings or a faulty FX5700...?
