Power on problem

Dyewitness · 12 Jan 2013 at 19:18

Hey 8 Pack,

Ever since I have started tweaking my overclock, i have noticed that when I power my pc on it switches of immediately then comes on again and boots normally. Im not sure if this is to do with some setting I have changed, maybe a power setting. Do you have any ideas?

Some boards do this, my Gigabyte boards used to do this, they did a BIOS update which helped.

What board are you using ?

asus p8z77 v pro

It a clock gen full reset. Its normal. The board is doing this to train the memory and other settings of your overclock. All the high end boards do it too.

so it is safe and wont harm anything?

Does it happen even if you've not been adjusting bios settings? My Gigabyte P55-USB3 (i5, 760, unclocked. I know I'm a whimp) has been doing it perhaps once every couple of months since I built it (2010 ish) I assumed it's either starting to fail or a quirk of the bios/board.

Mine does it everytime I turn the PC on - it's normal

Its not product degradation or any problem at all with the product.

This dual boot is completely normal.
