Power on then restart?

[Neodude1123201]

Ok,I have figured out it's not the PSU,Sometimes when i switch on my computer it will power on for 2 seconds,and then switch off,and then 3 seconds later it will power on again.I Have noticed it only after i flashed the BIOS (To Fix a PCI hardware issue),Should i try re-flashing the BIOS?

Can you even get into your Bios to reflash it, sounds like the reflash screwed the pooch.

The Computer works fine once you get it started! You just need to get it started .Im Going to reflash it with a different revision.

My last few boards have always done this as part of POST, are you sure it isn't a new implementation in the bios you flashed to? anything in the release notes about it?

Here is the list of BIOS's

I Flashed with 19,but 20 has just been released,so im going to try that.

Did you clear the CMOS after flashing?

 

[Neodude1123201]

Well i just flashed,and all seems to be good,i didnt actually Atomic,Should i?

It's usually a good idea to clear the CMOS after a DOS based BIOS flash. Many of the Windows based flash programs do it for you.

Won't do any harm doing so anyhow, and its usually simple enough (some motherboard companies even ship with a button )
