Lamig Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Hello again, When I turn on my computer it would shutdown itself for 1-3 secs (before the you see the bios splash screen) and turn on itself back on successfully booting to OS (happens only when OC'ed). Is this normal? Thanks In Advanced Edited November 1, 2009 by Lamig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Happens to me if I shut off my computer during boot up. When I try to turn it back on, it turns on for a second, shuts off, turns back on after 1 or two seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamig Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I didn't interrupt the boot up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rourkchris Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Not the same motherboard model but I had the exact same issue with an Asus P5E. I ran it for about two years with this issue and it didn't hurt anything. Just a slightly quirky motherboard. It still overclocked well and performed great. Updating the BIOS never got rid of the issue. I wouldn't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack_patrol Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 It might be because there isn't enough juice(voltage) for some part. When I overclock, I always oc first and them raise voltage...sometimes when the voltage isn't enough the PC won't boot, but when I press the restart button it will boot normally. Maybe for your case there is a different cause...just thought I'd throw out this idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
