Computer Issue

Technical minds of FOFC,

I have an issue with my computer. It is been going on for awhile, but today it seems to have boiled over into a bigger issue. Basically, if I turn my computer off, it needs three or four boots to become 'stable' and not not have the operation system crash. Once the OS is stable, it can go months and months with no issues as long as it is not turned off. This issue happened with both Windows 7 and Vista.

I made the mistake of turning it off since I was going to be out of town for a week for the holidays. I had to come back and go through the normal haggling with it (I had to put in a Windows 7 Recovery Disk and rebuild the BCD), but I went to bed last night with it stable. The power went out last night and the computer turned off. This morning, it had several issues including the BIOS deleting itself. I had to reinsert the recovery disk and rebuild the BCD again.

I got it back up and running and it seemed stable. I tried to remote into my work VPN and the monitors shut down, acting like they were not getting any input from the computer. The computer then shut down. It attempted to restart but never could. It kept going in that loop for about ten times. The monitors never received any input from the computer and thus the "no signal" box pops up.

I built the machine myself. I can dig up the specs if I need to. The only other change I have made recently is installing Ubuntu on the same drive as Windows 7/Vista. I have heard this causes issues, but certainly not this?
