PC Power up issues & SSD not found

[markpbennett]

Hi,
Ive got a couple of issues with my new build, both have been happening for a while.

1/when i press the power button my pc will start to boot for about 3 seconds..then power down....then power up...then power down. It does this 3-5 times before successfully posting and continuing to boot.

2/From shut down(still plugged in)...sometimes my mobo doesnt see my boot drive(ssd). If i turn the switch off on the back ..wait for 10secs..then turn back on...it boots up fine.

Ive tried googling....but im struggling to find people who've experienced similiar issues...or can point me in the right direction. TBF its not a show stopper....just more annoying than anything.

Any advice would be most appreciated folks!

PC:
"Krypton Stegosaur" Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz @ 4.60GHz Overclocked Bundle - MSI
boot drive - 2 X OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive- in RAID0

As its infrequent, I would suspect a short may be the culprit, you could try the build outside of your case, I assume you have all mobo standoffs installed otherwise it wouldnt boot at all, but maybe the mobo has become slightly warped, or you have a loose connection somewhere or something like that
