Ok, so PC is built, updated and seems to be running 99% fine. The 1% is actually an issue at boot up.
When I hit the power the computer will seem like it's going to turn on, fans turn, lights come on etc. and 2 seconds later it crashes. I don't have to do anything at this point, it will then try again and again and again etc. Typically after 2 or 3 attempts it fires up.
Once the PC is running I don't have any issues and if I need to restart I don't have any issues, it's only the initial boot. On the motherboard there is a little display that has numbers, when I initially hit power it goes to 60 then might drop to 30 and then off. Second time might go 60 - 90 - 60 - 30 off. Third time it might go 60-90-60-90 then it will turn to letters which means it's on.
Reading online doesn't give a whole lot of information about what the proble might be, it would make sense if it's the PSU but everything runs fine once it's booted and I'm only running 1 cpu, 3 hard drives, 1 dvd and 1 gpu ... my PSU is 700 watts and SLI certified.
One thing i should note, on the motherboard it has 8 slots available for the CPU plug in. I do have 2, four pin connectors however I can only plug one in at a time due to the configuration of the connectors/holes. Also I did check the power plugins on the motherboard and they are all correct so nothing is crossed there. It almost seems like the motherboard isn't grounded.
Any ideas?
