Hello all,

Just build new PC and have an odd thing happening-

I power on the PC and then it powers off then powers back on?

Any thoughts why?

 
My first thought is that when you boot the system, the BIOS finds a setting that it doesn't like, looks for a bootable setting, then powers down, and successfully tries again.

Second thought: if the problem only happens like the first time you try to turn on the computer for the day, you could have a minor fault in the circuits that control the powerup sequence of the PSU.

So does this happen each time or just occasionally?

System configuration?
