Restarting PC

[Lethal`]

When I restart my PC it doesnt stay on, it shuts down waits about 5 seconds and turns on again. Is this ok or is there a problem?

Im not sure if this is a problem at all, but it recently dawned on me that it could be, I have had it for a while.

It might be a bug in the PSU or the motherboard somewhere. Does the machine fire up normally after the reboot?

If the restart problem doesn't resest your BIOS settings, I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Yes it fires up normally afterwards. I don't think BIOS settings reset because my overclock is still here.

I had this once on an old 98se machine, although for the life of me I can't remember what it was exactly that fixed the issue, I do know it was from a windows management item like msconfig. Try having a look in that and check it's all ok

Ok I'll have a look, im running vista atm but do have xp installed on the machine too, I will try restarting from XP as well.

Try runnning at default clock speed, it could be the motherboard has to resync the clock speed as your overclocking, my DFI does the same thing.

Ok I will try that, it did the same thing when rebooting from XP.

Just had it at default clock speeds and the restart problem was gone. But I want to run at 2.8 (or higher ) but how can I eliminate the restart problem with the overclock on?

It could be chararistic with the board or check for BIOS updates.
