Basically when I restart or switch off then on, it will spin all the fans etc and HDD makes noise all like normal. Then after about 9 seconds it will turn off and switch itself back on again. It will do that 3 times before finally loading up properly.

However, I have just tried booting with 1 stick instead of 2 sticks of RAM and it seems to be working perfectly, so im going to try the other stick and see if that's the trouble maker.

*EDIT* tried with the other stick and it works fine as well. going to try it once more with both sticks.

*EDIT* unbelievable, plugged the other stick back in and now they are both working perfectly, restarted fine and worked fine when i shut down and powered on again.

Could be dodgy memory then?

Yeah its fixed now, have restarted numerous times and shut it down a lot, everytime its booted perfectly first time.
