Newly purchased and built Q6600, OCZ Vendetta cooler, Gigabyte P35-DS3R, 2 gb G-Skill (5), Corsair VX550w PS, and EVGA 7600GT, using IDE DVD while waiting for SATA DVD.
At first, it posted. Tired, I left further set-up till morning. Installed IDE DVD and the e-SATA panel. Tried to post and 3 second on/off issue appeared. Disconnected the IDE, no change. Removed battery, no change.
Recalled the Newegg review below about unplugging machine and waiting. IT WORKED!
"Cons: Here's what you do about the boot problem. When it starts turning on and off, cut the power switch and pull the plug for about 10 min. It will come back on at stock settings. Not sure why it does it but here's the cure!"

Don't ask me what's happening, but whatever it is Gigabyte owes its customers an answer. Either way, something is wrong. I'm RMAing and moving to ASUS or the new ABIT in the same price/class.
