After many frustrating weeks I've finally pinpointed the cause of my PC problems...the onboard sound processor.
The odd thing is that the problems only occur when booting up after the PC has been off for an extended period. Once it's warm and up and running any reboots are performed successfully. As soon as it has been off for a while it takes 3,4 and 5 attempts to boot in.
Assuming there's a physical problem with the sound processor, why would it only occur when it's cold?
Thanks
Dave
