hi

For the past few days my pc has been shutting down right after the motherboard screen shows up at start up but when i turn the pc on for the second time it starts up normally with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this? as every time on the second attempt the pc starts up as normal.

thanks

no the ram is not set up to 2133 although it use to be. i have latest mobo drivers but not bios. the bios is i believe 1 version behind and no i dont have another psu but im thinking of buying a better one though. i never had the problem until a week ago when it started. if any of these are causing the problem then why does it boot up completely fine on the second try and works as normal?

Hi, one thing i i forgot to say is that this started happening after i upgraded to windows 10 and got a new 28 inch monitor. could any of these be causing it?
