PC cold boot stops during BIOS, works on restart/warm boot
For the past few weeks when powering up my elderly PC it almost always stops during BIOS after displaying the CPU details (1st image).
Pressing the Reboot button on the front panel it boots fine every time (2nd image).
As the next line it would display is the memory check ok it seems to suggest something to do with the memory. I've run MemTest86+ for 1 complete pass, no errors found (3rd image)
Would seem to be a cold boot / warm boot difference.
Whilst it's not a real problem for me as the PC is working very well, it may be a warning of something or it may just be something has changed, perhaps inadvertently by me, and needs changing back, though no idea what.
Any thoughts on how to progress this?
