This has been going on for a while.. doesn't happen every time but normally when the machie is cold I notice this.. it hangs on the win7 loading logo.. I hear my sound card click like the driver is loading and then it hangs.. If I wait a while and reboot after the machine gets warm it will boot on up. I did get a new SSD but cloned over the OS.. issue seemed to go a while for a little while but returned. Normally I don't power my PC off but lately I have been. My OC passes everthing I throw at it.. I even went in and added some voltage.. no change. Ram is 1866mhz.. thinking of slowing it down but somehow I feel its hte SSD or a cold boot problem.

Have you tried just removing the sound card and any other unnecessary items and see if the boot issues occur?
Also, have you tried a fresh OS install?

Fresh install is next.. found where someone was having identical problem as I was.. they said hte latest bios cleared it up for them so I will give that a shot as well. I will probably flash the bios and do a reload... if that doesnt work ill yank the sound card.
