I just bought a system with an MSI X58 Platinum mobo and a Core i7 920 CPU with 6GB of DDR3 RAM and a cheap 680w power supply. When I first got it several days ago, I noticed something weird. I plugged it in and pressed the power button. The PC powered up, immediately powered back off, paused for 4-5 seconds then booted up. I noticed it doing this from time to time. I thought the power supply was flaky, which seemed to be confirmed when it died last night after six days of use.

I put in a new Thermaltake Black Widow 850w power supply today and now my PC works again. However, the second time I booted up, it did that weird thing again. So, I know it's not the power supply. Is this a mother board issue? Anyone have any idea what my PC is doing? I've never seen one do that before.

EDIT: I just saw the sticky post about fake/double boots. That sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing. It freaks me out! I always think my system just died when that happens. Is there a good reason for this? I've never seen a system that behaves this way.

Heh heh....you're a funny guy.

Anyway, this is a common problem that lots of people have experienced. It apparently is not an actual problem, per se, but it is a known annoyance. Some people have had luck getting rid of it by updating the BIOS.

Thanks! That's a wonderful explanation. Nothing like getting an answer from a BIOS engineer. Thanks again for the link.
