when i turn on my pc it powers up then the power goes off, then it powers up again and continues to boot up to windows and runs fine. It does this everytime i turn it on :/.
 
i do only press it once, it restarts itsself. It like starts, has a power cut, then starts again and loads properly.

Have you just built the rig??
 
Yep abit ip35 here, exact same problem! Powers on for a few seconds, hear the hard disks come on, then it powers off. About 5 seconds later it powers back on and works fine. Any reason for it?
 
Sometimes there is an option within the BIOS to change the delay time between the computer switching on and when it tries to access the hard drive - I have had this problem before where the computer tries to access the drive too early and ends up resetting (for some unknown reason!) and altering this setting generally worked for me, tho I've not had any experience with your particular motherboard. I would also suggest checking your PSU - a faulty or low powered PSU can also cause the same problem, altho this problem seems to be rather rare.

same thing with a MFI P35Neo

I had the same thing with a RIG I built two weeks ago, the board was a MFI P35NEO

Never affected the performance though, and the user reports being very happy with the machine.
