So I have been fixing and working on my computer upgrade for the past 3 days or so.

I have fixed most issues, but there seems to be a small problem when I boot the computer up every time.

When I power on, it will start up with fans going full power crazy on everything and stays that way for about 5 seconds and powers down and it will reboot in about 3 seconds after that.

Sometimes this only happens once and other times it happens twice before the computer starts. As far as Im aware there isnt any other problem I have encountered so far.

I have looked around the internet and some of ASUS motherboards are known to have cold-boot issues, which seems kinda weird to me. I have been using this cpu/motherboard for the past 2 years on my previous system and it has never done this before.

What would be causing this?

 

Specs are

 

core i7-2600k

asus P8 Z68 v pro

corsair vengeance 16gb

corsair H100i

gigabyte g1 gaming gtx 970

480gb ssd 2tb sshd

Just to make sure, have you already tried disconnecting your components then reconnecting them to make sure they are all seated properly?

Its common safety feature of Corsair (and many other) PSU's. Corsairs are ones I've heard doing the reboot cycle more than once. The reason it happens is because PSU checks how much voltage CPU needs.
