A few days ago I built myself a new computer
- Intel i5 6600 3.3 GHz Skylake
- Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3
- 2 x Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400
- Sapphire Nitro R9 380X
- Samsung EVO 850, 500 GB SSD
- Western Digital Blue 1 TB HDD
- Cooler Master V550 modular PSU
When I try to turn it on, the CPU fan starts spinning for a short period of time and then stops and the computer restarts itself. Some times there are six loud beeps and some times nothing. After a few restarts there is a single short beep and it boots to Windows.
When it turns on, it works flawlessly. I can use it for hours (mostly gaming) without any problems.
Restarting works without problems too. When I restart, it always boots on the first try. Also when I try to turn it on shortly after(10-15 min) it was turned off, it boots on the first try.
But when i leave it off for a few hours, over night or while at work, the problem appears.
I made a video showing the problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGi_bcltF-o
As you can see in the video, it restarted three times before booting up.
1. I press the power button -> CPU fan spins for a while -> restart
2. CPU fan spins for a while + 6 beeps -> restart
3. CPU fan spins for a while (but shorter than before) -> restart
4. Successful POST (one beep) -> boot to Windows
It says here that six beeps indicate keyboard error but i don't think that is correct

I tried everything from these threads but nothing helped

If anyone had a similar problem or knows what might be causing this strange behavior, please, share your ideas.
