Conure Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Hello! I built my new pc today but it's having a bit of trouble...It runs everything great (will publish fps improvement tomorrow), however when I restart it, maybe 30% of the time as it restarts it'll switch off, as though id turned it off, then turn itself back on...The other 70% of the time it does a standard reset... Does this sound like a serious problem to any of you? I tried a different PSU and some trouble shooting, but nothing has worked....Also, when I switch the PC on, there is a delay before the CPU fan starts spinning...Any idea why? I really dont want it to get damaged, but I'd presume these kind of problems would be covered by the warranty? Thanks...hope its not serious!

power5 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) DIY have no warranty. Biggest draw back. You only have an RMA option on the individual parts. I have read about many different motherboards doing the start stop start problem over the years. Not sure what causes it though. Wait, you got a new mobo and CPU right? If so you need to reinstall windows with correct motherboard drivers.

Conure Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Thank for the reply power. I had already reinstalled windows. J am not too concerned if there is no damage and I does sound as though it's just switching off... What would you advise? Thanks a lot!

power5 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Make sure your HDD is the first boot priority. Sometimes if you have CD rom as first boot device, it will loop. Not sure, but could be a cause.

emenance Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 which motherboard? Mine did this for awhile. Would turn on then like stop lights out then continues to turn on and boot up. I did not change the power supply but did change the computer plug in to a differant room of the house with an extension cord. That worked. I think I had an over loaded circut. However on another occasion I noticed my computer start up very very slow. I mean slow from post screen to raid bios screen. Motherboard level slow. I reflashed the bios a couple times. Updated the raid bios too and made sure my OS was using the lateest chipset drivers from intel. Reinstalled OS. No more problem.

Kuky Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Some motherboards do this when changing certain settings in BIOS, but if you are not changing any settings in BIOS and it still does it it doesn't sound normal to me PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR

Conure Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Nope, I haven't done anything like that...Maybe I should try plugging it into the wall on its own...It's been stable and fine since though, do you guys think it's worth worrying about?

Kuky Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I think you shouldn't worry abut this, I am pretty sure it is just OS making changes to hardware installtions/onfigurations and sometimes it requires a hard reboot... it's normal for lot of motherboard now. If along th way you have installed everything and it still does it then you could try to update motherboard BIOS, but I don't think you'll need to do that.

Silent Warrior Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I hope you'll forgive me for asking, but... Have you verified that you're actually telling it to reboot? My little experience with Vista and W7 beta showed that sometimes the shutdown-icon on the start-menu doesn't always do the same thing, so I always use the extra context-menu to select Shut down.
Conure Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Yup, I have Silent! IT used to reset properly but now it doesnt..I'm pretty convinced it's to do with something that's plugged in, as when I pulled everything out bar the basics, it did it properly...To be fair, I don't think I've ever had a machine that hasn't had a weird quirk, and if anything goes wrong I'll RMA. That said, I can't see any problems...Can you guys see any issues resulting from this? I've run 24hour stress tests, checked voltages, etc...It starts first tie every time, no crashes...

Silent Warrior Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 What are all these external things you mention disconnecting?

Possibly the only way you are going to find out what is causing this irritation is to add one component at a time and test. Then keep adding another component and test until the problem crops up again. Hopefully you will then be able to locate which component is the pain in the butt.

power5 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Yup, start with 1 stick of ram, and VC and OS HDD. If it does not boot on first try, place ram in different slot until all slots have been tried. If it does boot on first try, still change ram slots. This will eliminate that ram stick as a problem, and verify any slot problems.
