Boot up restarting

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
