| if the CPU is too cold; the system simply won't POST; heat it up (or wait a bit) then try again

| R&D teams of AMD and Intel don't co-operate. Btw, the coldbug is pretty much fixed on Gulftown. Quote:
In short: because of a too low temperature, certain parts of the processor fail to work. What parts exactly and why they fail is unknown. Coldbug = processor fails to work below this temperature, even when under load. So, you decrease the temperature in windows and see when the system freezes or shuts down. Note that there can be a difference between idle and load coldbug Coldboot = processor fails to boot below this temperature. | |
