I've been noticing some very strange problems with my primary desktop. I normally don't shut ever shut it off and everything works great. No crashes, no lockups, no instability. However, any time I shut it off for a while before turning it back on, it becomes extremely unstable. It will crash, lockup, spontaneously reboot, etc, for a few minutes. But once it's "warmed up" it's back to its usual stable self. Obviously, the first idea that comes to mind is thermal expansion, but I can't think where the problem could lie. Everything that attaches to a motherboard tends to do so quite firmly, and for good reason. Any suggestions?
