weird problem with posting

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
ok press the power button cpu light blinks once everything comes on cpu light blinks again and everything turns back off it doesnt do it all the time but just completely randomly and if you keep it up after like 2-10 times it starts up and runs fine and is completely stable any suggestions as to what the problem is?


also it will say sometimes "overclocking failed" even once when all the settings were at defaults

Sounds to me like it could be a few things:

1. Check that your motherboard is properly grounded , no metal to metal contact
2. Its a possible motherboard issue , depending on how old it is , could be on its last limb. I have that issue with an Old Asus Socket A board , after trying to Overclock , which worked well , it seemed to have issues booting up period , like you said it would take several times it would work just fine.
3. Check all your cables , PSU , Power cables , everything just do a quick recheck of all possible small things before we assume its something big.
