Whats up guys I just recently build my computer not the first time more like the tenth time, literally. I have is i got the Asus Sabertooth p67 with intel i7 2600k. 6gb ram and CF 6870's. everything loads up and boots fine sometimes it takes awhile to load to the OS but everything works. The only problem im having is that when I turn the power button on my computer on it runs for about 5 sec and turns off and 5 sec automatically turns on by it self, my monitor will eventually recognize everything and display everything. But what could that be.

I don't quite understand. You say that you can boot your computer fine, but you also say that when you press the power button is will turn on then turn off.

Okay, I read it again and now I get it. Does it happen everytime or only once?

it only happens when the computer is turned off for a few hours. so i guess it happens occasionaly. but everything boots up fine. right when i turn on the power button it runs for 5 seconds then turns off then automatically turns back on. idk its pretty weird

Could be a PSU problem..Or try taking out the Cmos battery,A reset of the BIOS 'may' do the trick.

They hid the battery behind the graphics card on my gigabyte board. I'm looking for the thing and I'm like really?? I had to unscrew it and take the whole thing out.
