Was tweaking some settings in the BIOS earlier, playing around with RAM timings mostly, and got to the point where I tightened the timings too much and couldn't POST.

My board detected the instability and the next time I powered on, I went straight to the BIOS no problem, and the settings I had before the unstable settings were back - this happens normally for me when I set something too low/tight. I didn't think much of it, until the next time when I exited the BIOS - the board powered down.

My case fans were still running, but the board completely shut off and I had no display to my monitor - for about 5 seconds, and then everything powered back on as if I had pressed the power button from a cold boot.

I don't see to have any problems booting, however the board never did this before - and now whenever I change a BIOS setting of any kind, it shuts down, and 5 seconds later powers back on. Before I would exit the BIOS, and the board would just enter the iROG splash screen and POST test again - there was no powering off at all.

I've reset the CMOS twice, but that hasn't changed anything. I'm wondering if this is indicative of a problem/defect with the board and/or if anyone else with experience with this board has had the same experience?

Even though it just started happening? I've never had a board completely power off after a BIOS change, ever. And will it continue to power off from now on, or is there a way to correct this?

Mine does it. I've had boards do it in the past. I think its when you change certain settings.
