Immediately after initial start-up from shut down, my computer seems to turn off for like 2 or 3 seconds, as in all the lights and fans turn off. Then the fans and lights turn back on, and I'm taken to the black American Megatrends hardware spec screen that says "Please enter setup to recover BIOS settings. Press F1 to Run SETUP." I hit F1 and boot from the drive and everything seems to be fine after that. I should mention that this started occurring after I upgraded my CPU heatsink, and reinstalled Windows (latest motherboard firmware installed). System specs in signature. What the heck is going on?! Thanks for the help guys!
