I can help here.
Check that you power supply, ie the wall bit, doesn't have something on it
that is pulling a lot of power, such as a heater. I have the same trouble
on cold nights, if you switch off the load until the computer is up and
running then switch them back on everything is OK. It seems the A3000 needs
all the power it can get on a cold start, bit like my car.
