A friend of mine and i recently built a computer for him and hes having some small issue which seems to be a cold boot issue.

When the computer has been left off for a few hours he presses the power button, the lights come on and the HD light flashes as if its going to windows yet nothing appears on the screen.

If he presses the reset button, the computer boots up perfectly and will continue to do so no matter how many times he turns off or restarts until the next time the system is off for a few hours.

The only thing i can think of is a bios update to see if it will fix this, the system other than this is rock solid.
