Need a fix for my system

[bnaresh84]

Hi Folks

Whenever I switch on my computer, CPU starts up and after 2 secs, the power goes down (CPU fan stops) and again after 2 seconds, the CPU powers up. I am not sure why this is happening. Can someone provide a fix for this?

My Details:

RAM: 2 GB 800MHz
SMPS: 500W Cooler Master Xtreme
Procy: e7200
MB: Abit IP35-E
Graphics: XFX 8800 GTS

just out of curiousity..are you holding the START button a little longer?

What happens after the CPU starts second time..does it boot properly to the Operating system? or does this ON/Off game keeps happening endlessly?

If it is constant restarting of the PC,it'd be due to the faulty pressing of the power key.(I used to have it if i press it with more pressure on one side).Pls explain in detail......

I think its the double boot issue present in IP35e's..
You should check out abit forums for the double boot issue, there are some sticky threads regarding double boots.

No, I do not hold the Start button for a long period. After the CPU starts the second time, it boots to the OS properly without any hitch. It just happens for the first time whenever I start my PC, after which there is no problem.
