If you have a spare PSU plug it in and try it, if it's a lower wattage just dont plug in into your GPU and run the post on on-board graphics.

 

Try a different PSU if possible - the B series are decent but nothing to write home about.

 

oh my gosh u guys I fixed it and you wouldn't believe what was causing it, not the psu, not the cables, all that is ok. the freking setting in BIOS, CPU FREAKING UNLOCK, I remembered I did unlock it couple days before starting this thread. So I disabled it and everything is ok now, but I cant overclock my cpu tho. But thank you guys for suggestions and willingness :)

So here is the problem. I press restart, my computer TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, then starts by itself and boots normally, so it's just like a regular restart but instead of just software restart it's also hardware restart. Also, when my computer is off and I press button to turn it on, it just spins fans for a second, then 3 seconds nothing and then it starts normally. It all started just yesterday as I changed my pc case. Any ideas?

Might have plugged the switches onto the mobo incorrectly, or maybe even a bad PSU, I had a PSU do this once and soon as I replaced it, it stopped doing it.

The switches on front of the case to the connectors on the mobo on/off LED, power +/- etc

Did you check the mobo manual to triple check what way everything goes?

is it harming the PSU when it starts and restarts that way?

Maybe, because they keep turning off and on, it's like a lightswitch, flick it on and off and too fast the light will blow.

Hmm - what PSU are you using and  how old is it? It might be giving signs of death.

Try a different PSU if possible - the B series are decent but nothing to write home about.
