What could make XP crash with a BSOD (various messages: tcpip, pagefile, irq not less or ... etc.) only on a cold boot? When I reboot using the reset switch (not pwr off) everything's fine. I'm thinking: PSU, or maybe something good happens during the scandisk that I'm forced through on reboot? Please, gentlemen, I'm completely lost here.

Asus A7V133 bios 1005/fxd Apacer 256MB PC133 2-2-2 Duron 750@896 (128x7) IBM GXP75 30GB TNT2, SBLive all on newest XP certified drivers VIA 4-in-1 4.35 Eicon Diva ADSL USB modem running on 2k drivers SP1 It also happens without the new 4-in-1's, Detonators and SBLive drivers, so that's not it. I also tried downclocking to 7,5x100, setting the RAM back to 3-3-3, disabling ACPI and moving stuff away from IRQ 9. None of that works. I think the 2k drivers for the modem could be bad, but I just don't understand why it only happens on a cold boot.

Ever since I installed my USB ADSL modem in XP I get bluescreens on completed startup. The weird thing is that when I reboot everything's fine (except for running Scandisk, of course). It seems that a cold boot from powerup does something to my system which doesn't happen in a hot reset. Config: Eicon Diva USB ADSL on W2K drivers (the culprit!) ACPI: IRQ9 has with SBlive, TNT2, USB Host Asus A7V133 VIA 4-in-1 4.35 XP SP1 Bootmagic 6.0 dual boot with Win98SE, which is running fine Pagefile.sys shared with 98SE, fixed to 1000 MB on a separate partition. No swapfile on c:\. I tried disabling ACPI, various bioses and bios tweaks, but no luck so far. Hope someone can help, it doesn't look like Eicon will have XP drivers ready for another two months.
