cold boot

I have 4 SATA hdd drives. One is a Seagate 1TB. Recently I have had a curious (to me at least) recurring symptom. My drives are split into partitions. Just one of the drives partitioned into three "drives" upon cold boot triggers the pop-up panels that appear when a removable drive has been...

New build I put together on the cheap. Seemed to be working fine until I shut down and let it sit overnight. The next morning started getting BSOD usually right after booting into windows. If I reboot a few times it will start working fine again. It will even hibernate and wake ok, but if I...

Hello, I am using Windows 7 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 1520. Today, when I attempted to start the unit, I heard a rapid beeping that was uncontrollable until I clicked the Control Key. There are no error messages. I have done 2 cold boots and a memory diagnostic (which found no errors) with no...

My office system is a Dell w/ Win7 and it's been running fine up until 1 month ago. Then it started this odd behavior. On a cold boot it runs about 5x to 20x times slower than normal, almost as if it's just running on a single core locked at 5%. Boot time to hit splash screen is 2.5 to 4.5...

My laptop will go to sleep BUT when I wake it up I get a backlight and fan, and that is it. To recover, I must disconnect power, pull the battery, replug all that and cold boot. It just started this about a week ago. Before that it worked just fine. A windows update may be responsible as I have...

Above error in the system log upon reboot after any type of shutdown (i.e. cold boot or restart). Just started - Please don't ask what I did since I'm not exactly sure (possibly image restore). Any Ideas?
