Just built a new system [Q6600, 8G] and am having a weird problem. When I power on, the mobo phase lights all light up, some of the fans turn on and then everything turns off for a couple seconds. Then everything starts again successfully. All devices are running, memory and stress tests are fine. This also happens with everything unplugged except the mobo and the CPU so not an overload but could potentially be a bad PSU though runs fine in the end. I read in one forum where this was normal for another brand mobo w/ a P35 chipset. This mobo has a P45 and I can't imagine this is normal. RAM is at proper 1.9V, CPU is overclocked at 8*400=3.2 rather than stock 9*266=2.4 and 1.36Volts. Ideas? Thanks!
P.S. I am concerned about the PSU some as I somehow fried my UPS by shutting down and unplugging the PSU but forgetting to turn the power supply switch off as when I plugged the cord back in, the UPS went into overload a couple times till now that is ALL it will do and it has gone bad so am currently not having safe computing at the moment till I can decide if I need to order a new PSU along with a new UPS.
