Hello,
I just put together my first computer and after using shortstuff_mt’s boot thread guide to get it working (a godsend for a noob! thank you sooo much I can boot my new comp. However, when I press the power button the fans turn on, the indicator LEDs turn on for about a second or two. Then the fans turn off and so do the LEDs. About 2 seconds later the system boots perfectly fine. Im wondering if this is a problem with the F3 BIOS that the mobo ships with as most of the reviews on newegg for the board say that it is buggy. Im going to update it anyway, but before I do, does anyone have any ideas about the boot stuttering?
My system:
intel core i5 750
HSF: Zerotherm Core 92
mobo GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2
case: NZXT M59
PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W ATX12V

HDD: two Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA
OD: Lite-on 24X DVD+R 24X DVD-R SATA Black 24X DVD Writer LightScribe Support
GFX: MSI N250GTS TwinFrozr 1G OC
Monitor is a 21.5'' 1920x1080, case came with two 120mm fans and I bought another for the spot that blows onto HDDs
