    Hey guys,

    So if the temperatures drop (sub 70 degrees) and the computer has been off for a while, the machine will freeze when it first boots up. If I then reboot the computer, it boots up fine and the performance is still great. It only does this if I haven't used the machine for a while and the internal temps were below 70 (nothing extreme though, 60-70*).

    I have the latest 1.03 firmware installed. I've been using Intel RST without issue since day one. Intel chipset is installed. I just thought I'd throw my issue out there to see if you guys have any ideas.

    -Thanks
