Warm boots - are pretty much a reboot. You restart the computer after it has been running, or power off then power on. For example, if you installed a new driver for windows, and you restart the computer, this would be considered a warm boot. Also, called a soft boot. (thanks, Stevo3)
Defined: Restarting a computer via the operating system.
Cold boots - are first time powerups, powerups after a long time, or a power on after a shutdown, for example if you turn off your computer for the night, and power up after you wake up, this would be a cold boot. Another example is if you overclock your computer too much, and you have too turn off power via power button, and hold for a few seconds. Also, called a hard boot. (thanks, Stevo3)
Defined: The start-up of a computer from a powered-down, or off, state.
