ASUS P6X58D-E Freezes on BIOS loading screen

Hello everyone!

I just finished building my rig a few days ago. For some odd reason, on a cold boot, my system freezes on the BIOS loading screen, but as soon as I restart my system, it runs fine. I've tried taking my CMOS battery out, waiting 30 secs then putting back in, but that didn't fix anything. Does anyone know a fix? Thanks in advance.

P.S.
My specs:
i7 950 3.06GHZ
6GB(3 x 2GB) Mushkin Enhanced Ridgebacks @ 1600Mhz 6-8-6-24 [Stock]
ASUS P6X58D-E Mobo
XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog Edition(Soon to be EVGA GTX 480)
Corsair HX750W PSU
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

Looking at your specs, you havn't overclocked, however seeing as you boot from default bios when you post, are your RAM voltages at the right speed? Oftern, if its set to auto, its default is 1.8V when some newer ram sticks require 2.0 upwards. this can be checked on thee sticker on the ram, see if that helps... I take no responisbility for any issues that occur.

Try changing ur sata port too..

get with the times man, only DDR2 runs that high.

DDR3 on intel platforms typically only run at a max of 1.65v.

Ahh didn't know that acutally, cheers for the info..

havn't built a PC with DDR3 yet, will be next week though.. +rep

Good call on the CMOS battery but have you considered that it might simply be dead altogether? That could likely cause a situation where you couldn't preform a cold boot.

Flow charts are what I used at work to fix problems that could take hours within an hour :)

Well, I just woke up, and now my system boots up like normal, and I don't know why. I'll post back if I figure out. Thanks for the help guys.
