Hello, guys! I had encountered strange issue with my new Motherboard MSI Z270 Gamin Titanium. AS mentioned in topic above PC booting twice: boot first time showing MSI logo, shut down and immediately boot second time. After this I had "Windows was not properly shut down" error in Windows Reliability monitor.

Find some strange solutions:
I checked that when I turned off fast startup option in Windows power option it booted immediately - seems like it helps.
But also I find out that clearing CMOS helped even if fast startup is enabled. After I cleared the CMOS by the button on the motherboard it was fixed.

Some story:
Also i find out strange issue with BIOS(maybe they are related):
When I browsing around in settings but don't do any changes and press ESC to exit without saving anything PC frozen on black screen and white vertical dash on it with Ab code on motherboard display. Only power off by button helped to unfreeze it. But it not always happened, maybe 3-4 time from 10. Everything is fine when I use other way to exit BIOS by F10 button(Save and exit) even without any changes.

Strange consequences
Exactly before the boot problem I played with BIOS and tried to find out the way how to reproduce freeze after ESC button and made a lot if restarts. May it be the root of problem? It seam very strange. But it had been already twice, exactly after that moments when I tried to find out the way to get 100% reproduce of that freeze after exit BIOS by ESC and restarted PC a lot of times. But I made that 2 weeks ago first time and fixed by CMOS reset. Yesterday I pressed ESC in BIOS to exit cause checking something there and it was frozen again. I restarted PC and entered BIOS again to check if everything OK. Turned it onto sleep for a half an hour and then turned on and off.
When came home after 9 hours at work I got the same issue - PC booted twice. I reset CMOS and again it booted fine.
Magic? 0_0

My spec:

- Intel I7 7700K
- MSI Z270 Gamin Titanium
- Kingstone DDR4-3000 32Gb 2x16
- Samsung 850 Pro series 512GB 2.5" SATAIII
- Western Digital Re 2TB 7200rpm
- Seasonic Prime 850 W Titanium



P.S.
My own suggestion that it is buggy BIOS.
 
when my system boots then turns off and back on again and boots normally ....its due to a failed oc attempt.
something as simple as not setting up your ram correctly can cause it, if you dont have an xmp profile set or badly configured.

clear the cmos,
boot into bios/eufi load optomized defaults.
check your ram to its correct speed and volts. enabe xmp if you have it.
check that your gpu is set to peg 1 and 3rd gen (if needed and available as an option)
check your drive order. and ahci is enabled (if you have an ssd boot disk)
save and quit.

if after loading optimised defaults you find your still unstable then you may have damaged hardware.

No. I hadn't overclocked this system yet.
 


Aside from making sure your bios is on revision 1.1, I would absolutely not waste any more time on this forum, but call MSI and open a support case with them. You've just purchased this motherboard and it's under warranty, so they'll have to fix it for free.

So you suppose that it was faulty mb or bios?
