probably not.... sometimes it just happens.... consider it a random occurance, unless it does it every time you reboot...

Hey Seven.,,,,,,,No prob ,,,nothing unusual,,almost every mobo will do that [hiccup] at least once in it's life,some are worse [far worse] than yours..
On the other hand if it continues,,,then you might want to test your battery,,
with a meter,nominal should be 3v dc,also newer mobo's also tend to burp now and again ..Peace...

Yeah no real worries there, unless it's every time you boot up.

My motherboard likes to do that if I leave it unplugged for more than 2 or 3 minutes. It's annoying but easily fixed. I can literally set up my normal BIOS settings without looking at the screen at this point 😀

As everyone else already said it's not a big deal unless it happens every time you boot.

If you have a digital multimeter or can borrow one you can remove the 3.3V Lithium battery from the motherboard and test it.

A very basic one like the one pictured above will cost you $5 - $10.

Check the voltage, if it's below 3.2 or 3.1VDC replace the battery and you should be fine :-D

Newer boards sometimes do that more often that older boards.
