PC turns on then off then on and works fine

I just overclocked a q6600 g0 to 3ghz with a 5:6 and left all voltages as normal.

When i push the power button the computer initially starts up but then turns itself off and after a few seconds it boots up as normal. Initial prime95 tests haven't shown a problem though I will need to run it overnight at some point.

Is this anything to worry about?

My brothers does this, press the power button it turns on, then turns off, then turns on and no problems

Nothing to worry about tbh

My brother's MSI P35 also does this, it's fine

I get this to only if i turn off my PC at the wall socket or back of PC after shut down....if i dont the PC starts up normally

One of mine does this too. Might make it more difficult to sell in a few weeks, but otherwise no problems

My motherboard does this - I raised a query on here to be advised it's a good thing .

Some check carried out by the board.

Running an Asus P5K Premium.

Can confirm this happens on my Asus P5Q-E with Antec 902, and Corsair HX520

At first i thought it was shorting out or something
