So I just put together a new rig

i5-4690k
gtx 770
12 gb corsair ram
1tb wd blue
asus hero vii

I actually haven't tried to boot from my graphics card yet as I had a ton of problems when I was putting the thing together, but I will try in a moment and see what happens after installing windows etc

My question to you guys is.. When I push the power button on my PC the PC starts but then cuts out kinda like in a movie when someone is trying to start a car but it just wont start then it starts.
That is the best way I can describe it, so when it starts it is fine and it runs great it is just i don't know why it does that? is that like a normal thing with this motherboard??

Could this damage the system in future?

Thank you guys, you are awesome!

Check and make sure there are no additional stand offs under the board this can cause grounding issues.

Intels current platforms do fire up in an odd way. The fan will spin for a few seconds then cut off then power back up and POST normally. I have seen this as normal operation for current Intel processors. My experience is based on professionally building PCs using primarily Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte boards. I've seen this behavior out of the 3rd and 4th Gen processors on 7, 8, and 9 Series Chipsets.

As an additional piece of advice I would suggest ditching the WD Blue as a primary OS drive. An SSD or WD Black is more appropriate for that hardware. Your hurting yourself with the HDD, it is the bottleneck. I know budgets can constrain...

Thank you, yeah I will definitely do that!

This is just temp until I get my second GPU and PSU.
Will check, thank you for the advice and help!
Could these additonal standsoffs damage the machine if left unattended?

Probably not however they could cause issues with powering the machine and can cause BSODs.

Simply count the number of brass points on the back side of the motherboard the count your screws on the front make sure they match if they do your good.

Thanks, I did what you recommended and it still does the thing i mentioned in the my first post, it isn't like it is choking or anything just as you said, fans spin then the power comes on then goes of then the power really kicks in and it takes me to my login screen

EDIT: I actually decided to take my PC apart because of a different issue and it turns out that there were two standsoff that was causing problems with my motherboard interface so i removed them and there are no issues now so thank you again!!

other issue was a ping issue that would randomly make my ping rocket up every so often

Hope this helps anybody with my issue
