Hello,
I've just finished my new build and noticed an odd bit of behavior when the computer starts up. It seems when I either shut down windows entirely, or restart from the BIOS, the computer will shut down as it should, but upon powering on (either by the button in case of shutdown, or just the restart from BIOS) it will turn on, the fans spin up, and then you can hear the power supply shut itself off just as the DVD drive spins up and everything goes dark in the case. This all happens in about 3 seconds...and after another 3 seconds, the computer powers back up, fans spin up, and everything works as normal. I haven't tried any overclocking or anything yet, just making sure the system checks out and everything, but this little nuance makes me wonder if I've done something wrong. Anyone got any ideas? Specs are as follows:
CPU: Core i7-2600k
Mobo: ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution
GPU: Gainward GTX 580 Phantom 3GB
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (4x4GB) 9-9-9-24 1600MHz upped the RAM to the 1600MHz in the BIOS from the mobo default 1366)
PSU: Corsair AX1200
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 2TB
I've got an NZXT Sentry Mesh running 2 Antec BIGBOY 200's on a channel, two Coolermaster 120mm's on the Hyper 212+, a 140mm, and then the default 200mm and 230mm on the HAF X case, just to make their use of power known.
Not sure if it helps, but according to the ASUS AI Suite II my voltages don't look too far off, but I've never dove into them before this build so I'm not 100% sure how far off they should be.
Vcore: 1.048V
+12V: 12.288V
+5V: 5.080
+3.3V 3.360
I know the Vcore is down, but either the mobo or the AI Suite seems to be throttling my CPU until it's needed, temps are at 20 Celsius on idle right now, and the only game I've installed so far has only brought that up to around 35 C.
OK...I know it's a wall of text, but I tried to include all the info I can. If there's any other info you need, just ask. I just want to make sure nothing is faulty and the strange restarting behavior isn't some sort of precursor of doom.
