Turning off when restarting

Inquisitor · 4 May 2007 at 10:40

I've got my E6400 running at 3.2GHz atm (Orthos stable for 5.5 hours so far) and everything seems to be running perfectly, but whenver I restart the computer it turns itself off for a few seconds and then powers back up. Should it be doing this?

Yup, latest BIOS (1202 on a P5B).

Sorry, I couldn't reply as I've been suspended for a while

Can anything be done about this, or is it just a motherboard issue that I'm stuck with? :/

I've had to turn down my overclock now because whenever I do a hard restart, the computer refuses to POST and I have to switch off at the PSU for about 15 minutes to get it to work again

It does it even when soft-resetting the computer though :confused:

Like I said above, it causes real problems if I have to do a hard reset for whatever reason

The funny thing is that it doesn't do it when I do a normal cold boot; only when I do a soft reset :confused:
