Every morning now my puter starts up , but not video - error code says C3.
After restarting and sometimes safe mode all is well and doesnt happen again
all day. Is this what they call a cold boot problem?
I have a good power supply Eneramax 365 and Corsair
XMS 3500 2-2-2 memory. Could the memory timing be too aggressive?? Chip is
P4 2.53 @ 533 bus and memory running at 2-2-2-6 and 333Hz.

By the way Error code C3 is "Expand Compressed Bios Code to Dram" I do have
the latest bios.

Sounds like a problem with the memory. You should try relaxing those
timings.
