Hello comunity, I recently bought a customized pc, my components are:
PSU: i7-4770k oc 4.4ghz (with asus bios settings, I use their profile, and locked the frequency at 4.4ghz)
MoBo: Asus Maximus VI Hero
GPU: nVidia GTX 780
PSU: Corsair HX1050
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
RAM: Corsair vengeance (8x2) 2133 Mhz
OS: Win 7 Pro 64 bit
SSD: Samsung 840 Series Pro 256 GB
HDD: Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM
So, the problem is, after 5 seconds from pressing the power button, it restarts and then boots normaly. I don't know what could be the problem. If there is any way to resolve this... It would be great. If it's normal, then it's no problem. Waiting for your answers, thank you !

First thing I do is reset BIOS to default, and then see if the problem continues. If it doesn't, then adjust your setting one step/section at a time, saving and restarting after each change. I know, it sounds annoying, but it's the only way to know if your current BIOS settings is the problem.

Next thing to try is removing unecessary hardware. All you need to pass POST is one stick of RAM, one storage device (HDD or SSD), CPU, and GPU/VGA (if your mobo has on-board video, it's a good idea to use it for testing purposes).

Finally, if after all that, you're still getting the restart probem, try breadboarding your system.

Thanks ! After reseting BIOS, now boots normaly, but now I don't have overclock any more. Should I overclock manualy ? I tried to overclock with asus 4.4ghz preset, but again, the same problem.

Yup. OC manually. A word of caution, though... Just because your system appeared fine after the reset, problem, there isn't any indication that your system is stable at those settings.
That said, don't go balls out on your OC, rather, increase your settings incrementally and do a save and reset often. This will make the OC easier than just trying random settings.
