sack_patrol Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 If I understand correctly, it turns it's self off and then on again after 2 secs, then yea you should be looking into it since it's not normal behavior for a PC. Though you should specify if there really is a 2 second period of time when the PC is off, or if it turns it's self off, and then restarts immediately. If that's the case, then it's not the PC, but rather a problem with the power of the house or whatever. I've had this before when the power of my apartment would go out for a split second and it would make the PC restart it's self like that. You can know if this is the issue by leaving a lamp on near you and keeping an eye on it and if it flashes when the PC thing happens then that's the problem. If not, then it might be PC related though I'm not sure what exactly since your PSU has plenty o' voltage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try replacing your power supply with another one and see if it works, just to make sure that yours isn't faulty or something, despite it being capable of supporting your system.

sack_patrol Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 but my psu is just new. ocz stealth extreme 2 600 watts. That doesn't make it immune to problems. It might not be the PSU for all I know, but since this is a strange problem for me, ruling certain parts out might help narrow it down.

Locutus Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Sounds more like a bad BIOS setting to me. Though it should reset itself...try clearing the BIOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reezer Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 well as far as the bios is concerned, i only changed two things. Changed the cpu reference clock to 234 mhz and down clocked the memory to 3:5. So my ram is running right now at 390mhz. do you think it is the bios?

Though it should reset itself...try clearing the BIOS. yes it is starting.... making your bios settings and checking...finds them ok ...then restarting I bet if you clear your bios/settings it won't do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
