Are you running at stock voltage? If you undervolt, it can take a little more power when the electronics are cold than when they are up to temperature.

i have cold boots too, few short boots, and it returns the FSB speed to default

you should remove all usb-flash-drives and force in bios the 'Static Read' value, it can be calculated if you feel confused. and find by experimenting the FSB that is remembered the next morning, and also take notes of the DIMM Fine Delay value, because it changes and combined with certain FSB also unstable. this does it for me.

and above 399 fsb, the chipset voltage is 1.45 by default [normal] and unstable, forced it to +0.1

i presume you have done this

GA-G31-S3L

downloaded the bios on fat32 partition and extract

then entered bios and 'F8' to enter q-flash, browsed for partition\path\bios and flash

or make bootable usb-flash-drive with HP tool, and boot'F12' then flash with all options 'flash boot block, clear cmos, dont keep dmi, etc.'

i just experimented and it was ok with P31-ds3l

Bad capacitors on the MB. Either replace them if you know how to desolder and do it right, or get a replacement board of the same type.
