Computer booting 2 times when booting

Go to solution Solved by Altecice,

I would like to keep an overclocked CPU. Can you tell me :

 

It could be related to the CPU or GPU OC.... an OC that isisnt stable is useless you may as well not have a PC. Reset everything and see if you boot normally if you do then we can move onto talking about a stable overclock.

Hey,

 

Sometimes, when I boot my computer, it boots up at first (fans turn, leds turn on) but doesn't get to bios test screen and shuts downs. A few seconds later, it boots up correctly without me having to press the power button again. 

 

It doesn't do that all the time.

 

Any idea what that could be due to ?

Instability due to overclock. 

When I tried overclocking my RAM to 2000MHz, it would reboot 3 times, never making it to the BIOS screen, then work after defaulting back to normal values. 

I'm thinking your overclock only works some of the time. If you aren't overclocking, it could just be a bad CPU/RAM or wtv that only works sometimes and not 100% of the time.

I overclocked my cpu to 4.2 ghz on 1.16 Vcore (totally not sure, will have to check) and it has been stable for months. I also didn't overclock my ram. I ran OCCT, gpu benchmarks, and I played tons of games without this problem arising. It has started a week ago.

 

Should I reduce my multiplier ?

Should I up my Vcore ?

Is this related to gpu overclock ?

reset BIOS to defaults and see if you have the same issue

There is this thing called CPU degradation. Linus and Slick have talked about it before.

Just because it was stable at that overclock doesn't mean it always will be. 

I would reduce your multiplier and VCore. Just a tiny bit. Like, to 4.0GHz.
