 My theory:
 
 Power supplies can cause intermittent problems..  and yes, more power
 current is needed at power-on as there is a spike in power as
 everything loads.

 My main computer doesn't have a large enough power supply to
 accommodate my two CD-ROMS drives, two hard drives, video card, sound
 card, modem, NIC, tv tuner, and SCSI card.. it crashes randomly
 during BIOS POST the first time.. if I hit the reset button it works;
 the drives have spun up, everything is already running, so there is
 consistent current.

 So yeah, I'd say stick a bigger supply in to test it..
