Can you always cleanly boot Linux when switching on the pc? Does it only sometimes happen after running windoze? Does it only happen after running windoze with a certain application? Windoze is know for leaving a mess in memory. Sometimes so bad that, indeed, you have to hit your pc with a hard reset to get all pointers in memory back in place.
