Hello,

I recently had someone assemble a new pc in a coolermaster 430 case. Everytime i turn it on, it'll immediately power up for a split second then die, and then power back up in 1-2 seconds and everything will be running fine.

my question is , is this harmful enough for me to go back for an RMA? If i did what would i have to change?
Since it didn't bother me too much initially I thought it was normal and just kept using it ( after all it boots up fine and runs well)

Could this abrupt start and stop cause any damage to my hardware?
