Every time that I have seen this it was usually heat related.  Either the
CPU fan is not working or another cooling component is not working.  I have
just replaced a CPU fan that started only once every three or four
power-on's.  Another remote possibility is marginal memory.  Some of the
higher memory locations are not fully exercised until Windows starts.
