BSOD only on cold boot

This is a discussion about BSOD only on cold boot in the Windows Hardware category; 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, ...

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.
