Half Post only until unplug and replug!

My Intel P5 Vista 32 machine will not turn on and boot totally until I unplug it and plug it in again. The POST stops at the end of the the RAM check and freezes. When I unplug and plug it in again it boots successfully.

I had fiddled around with power options and drive SMART settings trying to get WOL (Wake on Lan) to work.....it still doesn't work at all. Foolishly I've forgotten all of the few BIOS tweakings I made. Some I've corrected like returning the Suspend mode to Auto from S3.

This is a new one on me and I'm stumped. Any advice or comment?

Thanks in advance.

If you've OC'd your video card, change that back, take theog's advice and use default bios settings, run memtest86+ ... but most likely bios def. will take care of it.

Strong thanks to Theog and Lemur for the help. That did it......can't figure out what I did wrong but I'm back on now.
