Odd boot up behaviour

Hi guys,

So a little while back I had an issue with windows and I ended up in my BIOS. In the course of sorting the windows issue I noticed that my BIOS settings where set to "normal" rather than "performance", so I switched it over to "performance", because well, why not! :)

Now I can't honestly say if it was right after I did this or soon after but I now get a situation where I start the rig, it all spins up etc but nothing on the screen for a couple of seconds, then the whole thing stops, turns off, like I've hit the power button, and sits like that for a few seconds. After a few seconds have passed the rig starts up again by itself and carries on its merry way.

I've had this for a little while now but I'm not sure it's right? What are everyone's thoughts on this please?

I should mention it's a Asus PBZ68-V mobo and was part of an OCuK PC build so has the OcUK profiles etc being loaded in the BIOS
 
I have exactly the same scenario on an OC build, but have learned to ignore it. Sort of defeats the purpose of having an SSD for fast booting though. If you get to the bottom of it, please post the results :)
 
Go into bios
Into Advanced
Down to apm press enter
Then enable "Power on by PCIe"
F10 enter to save and boot
worked for me when I had the z68
