I've been enjoying my new i7 computer for a couple of months now but there is one lingering problem I can't seem fix, or diagnose for that matter. Every once in awhile the computer will not POST from a cold start. This only happens when the computer is turned completely off and then back on the next day or so. I'd say this occurs maybe 1 out of every 8-10 startups. The speaker will not sound and the board will not POST until I tap the reset button--which isn't a huge deal but it's not right.
I've looked over the BIOS a few times and everything is fine. The system is highly overclocked but is perfectly stable. The memory is using stock voltages and timings and the processor is liquid cooled. I'm not sure if it has to do with the Turbo Boost or not but I haven't bothered with changing any settings since this doesn't happen every single time. Like I said it's not a huge issue since the computer runs perfectly but I'd like to find what's causing the intermittent behavior. Any ideas?
