Depending on the hardware, it may retaining settings during a
reboot, but not when you power off the machine, and then power it up
again. This can sometimes cause strange problems. This is especially
true when booting a different operating system with out powering off
the machine.

There are also two ways to reboot a machine without powering it off.
The "warm" boot does not normally re-initialize the hardware. A
"cold" boot does run the initialization routines routines, but the
hardware may not be properly initialized.
