I get identical symptoms since installing a new graphics card (GeForce
FX 5200 Pro/660TV/DVI)
It does not happen very often as the trick of pressing reset shortly
after pressing the on button usually brings up the system correctly.
It seems to happen only from cold and I believe when I press the reset
button too soon. If I press start, wait 1.5 seconds, then press reset
it does not seem to occur.
