Mine still does it, but very, very rarely.

One thing to note is the higher your overclock, the worse it seems to get.

I'm sitting at 4.5 and I get a double boot about once a fortnight. No pattern to it whatsoever, but upping ram voltage to 1.575 and vccio to 1.2 seems to have helped a lot

I don't think anyone knows the solution to this.

Try sending them a webnote to see if they have come across this before

Yeah mine is the same. Always worst first thing in the morning.

You wont get much help off Asus, because their tech support only officially deal with problems with stock settings. When I asked the lad what he thought it was, he just went sorry, can't help, ask in a forum.

Post back let me know what the lads at ocuk reckon

I've had the cold boot problem since the day I put the board in. It doesn't cause a problem once the rig's up and running, and when it does happen, the machine just reboots itself, and it boots the second time round.

Yep, sounds exactly what is happening with mine. Always boots fine second time around. Once in windows it's totally stable. Only started doing this when I installed my 1070. It's as if my motherboard doesn't like my new hardware configuration.

I was really hoping a new psu would sort it.

I'm running the same CPU and quantity of memory, only difference being your 1070 (I'm running a 980)

My PSU is a bit beefier, but it's only in there because I used to run SLI when 3D vision was a big thing.
