Boot problem with new Oc system

Hi, cheers for the reply.

Yes have ran several stability tests and it passes them all. Once the system is into windows, i have experienced zero problems..its getting it there is the problem. Really not wanting to return this so hopefully the tech guys may be able to help before it gets to that stage. But i have had it 2 weeks now so i would need to find a resoloution soon.. However, if I do have to return it, i would be happy to perhaps change the board for something with less issues and pay the difference.

Its a real shame as the system is top drawer with the exception of the nonsense on cold start.
 
Hi, not yet as i wanted to give the tech guys i chance to throw some ideas about....

However, I may have just found the cause of this...perhaps someone can confirm if this is the likely cause. I noticed that my pc was plugged into the 4 way adapter in my room and not the wall socket...furthermore that 4 way adapter had been plugged into another adapter in my room (missus was hoovering and unplugged the pc and then must have plugged it into the 4 way and not the wall) So i noticed this 10 mins ago..plugged back into wall and now she has booted 3 times into windows straight away, no hanging, no double boots etc

Not jumping for joy yet but looking good...is it likely it simply wasnt getting enough juice?

don't update the bios without talking to ocuk first, flashing new bios deletes the saved oc profile and if the response this other guy got when he flashed the bios for an oc bundle it wouldn't be very helpful.
 
Hi nicky..since i plugged into wall socket and posted last night...not had a single double boot, any hanging, any overclocking error messages....will see how she goes over next few days but my advice to anyone with similair issues is try plugging directly into wall socket..seems to have weirdly fixed my prob.
 
I used to have this with my build which also had an Asus motherboard (Rampage II Gene), and never really saw it as a problem. However, one day it randomly stopped doing it, or I changed something and I now can't remember what it was :p (it may have been the graphics card as I changed from a 5870 to a GTX295 shortly after I built my computer), but it's been booting 'normally' for a long time now.
 
Hi, this definetly is a problem for me and im facing returning the system based on it. It can take 4 or 5 attempts to get it to boot normally and the rebooting involves holding the power button and restarting, cant be good for it long term.

Tried resetting to optimised defaults on the board and it comes back with a CPU fan error press f1 to enter setup.

Hi,
Have you tried completely resetting the CMOS?
