P45 Diamond Post Problem

Question

Hi,
I'm starting to have another post problem with my P45 Diamond motherboard.  (First one was RMA'd).  This time, it's showing "Processor Initilization" with red, green, green, red.  My current system is
Motherboard - MSI P45 Diamond
Bios - 1.3
Processor - Intel Q6600 (older version)
Memory - Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G 4gb total 1333
Power Supply - Silverstone 750 watt
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2
It's been working fine for a few weeks and just started acting up.  I'm using stock settings (no overclock) .
Recent changes are adding the Genie, however the post problem happened for the first time before I plugged in the Genie.  The same result now occurs when the Genie is plugged in and when I remove it from the motherboard power. 
Basically what happens is it will power up for the first time and it works.  If I restart or shutdown and turn it back on the monitor stays blank and the status lights show Red, Green, Green, Red which is Processor Initilization.  Only way to get it to boot up is hitting the Clear CMOS button or, when I went to bed and started it up this morning, it booted fine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The MCH voltage in Core Center we being reported at 1.976 however I NEVER changed any of the values.  Is it possible that the bios "AUTO" changed the value?
The question is this value is really set to 1.976V or if it just a misreport.  Please start Green Power Center and check the voltage values there.
{Remove Dual Core Center from the AUTOSTART list to make sure it does not open automatically when Windows is loaded.  You can start Green Power Center independently of DCC.  Just have look at the Dual Core Center Installation folder.  There should be a sub-folder that contains the GPC Application.  Create a shortcut to it from the Desktop and you are ready to go.}
