PC starting up twice.

Hey,

 

I have this issue with my pc where I press the power button and the pc starts and a second later it restarts with the fans kicking in at higher speeds, as they always do when I reset my pc. This happened after I updated my BIOS and now when I try to downgrade, the mobo says that the file is not a proper bios.

Yeah a lot of computers do that, what mobo do you have?

The double restart happens because I am overclockin my CPU. I have overclocked it the same way on the old bios and it worked. I will contact ASUS so they will help me flash back to the old bios.

I had a similar issue not that long ago, where the PC would boot and then it would reboot once or twice, until it got to Windows's Automatic Recovery. If I was lucky it would boot into windows after a few tries, once in Windows system was 100% stable too, only booting was an issue.

After I lowered my overclock, which was stable for 5+ years, my PC booted just fine without any issue. I'm too lazy to find a new stable overclock so I'm leaving slightly above stock speed now.

That's interesting, I was looking at 3201 today.  I've been running an earlier bios, 2012 I think, it's almost perfect but when I overclock it does do a double boot - at least when I first change to a custom OC profile, you saying 2202 doesn't do that?  cuz that would be worth risking the upgrade... maybe- you'll lose your hard earned profiles right?  There are also 5 or 6 more BIOS versions between those and the latest one... lots of choices

 

What's the point of all of these BIOS versions?  If I'm rock solid and booting in 15 seconds, why would I want to change it?  I mean if it's a compatibility issue ok, I get it.  But the latest four are all "improve system stability".. wth is that, as I said I'm rock solid, so what more stability is there?
