Xp Pro Boot problem

When doing a cold boot or after shutting down for 15 to 30 minutes, the boot
process never kicks in the video and remains on a black screen.

When this happens, a push of the reset button initiates a successful boot.
Additionally if a restart or shutdown and reboot is initiated after having
been running the reboot is successful.

I have gone through all trouble shooting procedures that I could find to no
avail. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

system:
AMD 1400 --
Epox KAT7A mb -- latest BIOS
512 mb ram
Ti4200 (128mb) video card latest ms driver but also happened with latest
NVIDIA driver
Antec 550 watt psu

Thanks
