Hi, i have recently built a new computer and im a amateur pc builder. First time guys.. And not even a week down the road, and im having this problem where on cold boot, the system hangs and the red cpu light is solid , doesnt go away.. This is really worrying me and i dont know what to do.. the thing is when my pc hangs , i turn off the power supply from the back of the computer and turn it back on, and when i power on my pc with the case power it works all of a sudden.. and it doesnt happen all the time , but its really scaring me.

My build:
intel i7 4770k
asus z87-a
8gb 1600mhz g.skill rip jaws x
wd caviar black 1tb
sandisk 128gb ssd
corsair tx750 v2
 
Solution
I searched more about this and other people are having same problem, but with different power supplies...
I think its a glitch somewhere... I went into the bios and then the boot setup and disabled fast boot.

next day cold boot it started flawlessly... same about of boot time though this system is fast. 14 sec start.
will post again if it F***s up again...
