P5K-E false start

izzy eckerslike · 11 May 2008 at 19:43

My Asus P5K-E seems to falter at the start of every PC switch on, I read somewhere else re this but can't remember where. I press the button & the fans & GPU start up etc for 2 seconds & then it goes dead for 2 seconds & then it restarts & loads as normal.
Is there a fix as I guess it must stress the components .
Is this a bios issue? I have 0906.
It also sometimes loads up to windows but the hardrive & one DVD drive keep their lights permanently on as tho constantly active, another bug?

I 'll try turning on the power a few minutes before I turn on the machine as I always flick the wall switch & pc straight after & see if it makes a difference, I've not flashed the firmware, I notice that doing a restart sometimes appears to turn off the PC as per a cold boot.

I am running bios version 0906, the one the board came with new last month.

I tried turning on the power several minutes before I turn on the PC but it made no difference

Leave the power on.

If a restart does the delay start then it already has the power on
