I built a video editing workstation last year and have had ongoing problems with the system crashing when cold Interestingly if it warms up 10 to 15 minutes or has ambient room temp 80F or more, it runs very solidly. I am running the FSB@400, OC'ing the Intel QX9770 to 3.8 GHz and have swapped out the power supply and memory with no change. MemTest 86 v 2.11 runs forever with no errors and Prime P95v258 runs without errors until I have to shut it down due to inadequate cooling temp rises above 52F. That leaves the Mother Board, CPU and Graphics Card as next most logical suspects. Any ideas?
