Hey guys, this has only happened once but I thought I'd see if it is normal or not.

Basically this morning I turned my pc on, it booted up for about 3 seconds normally, then it shut down, then booted up normally.

I switched it off and left it for a short time, then turned it on again but it didn't reoccur.

Not fretting or anything, I am just wondering what it could be?

Specs:

SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
Gigabyte Z87X-OC Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Microsoft Windows 7
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz
Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler
64g SSD
1TB HDD

Do you have an overclock on your CPU? My computer does this if I turn it off at the power supply or wall and then turn it back on again, but doesn't do it when I just have the PSU left on as normal.
 
Same here. My motherboard does the same, nothing to worry about, maybe something to do with applying memory timings.
 
How do you mean bad memory timings? Like in the BIOS?

And my first thought was the PSU,but then my last pc had a PSU literally fry itself, so I think I may be paranoid. :D
 
Nothing to do with bad memory timings, just applying the correct ones. If it was your PSU, I'm sure you have more issues than just this.
 
Is it worth looking into fixing the right timings? Any suggestions as to how? If yours does the same, seems to be a none issue if you haven't "fixed it".
 
a touch more ram voltage or imc voltage usually helps

and having the same bios version on both bios chips
