I downsized my old computer took it to a local shop.

MB: Giga-byte EP 45T
CPU: Pentium 4 3.8 prescott socket 775 lba Retail use standard cooler

Vantec trayless hd hotswap

The issue I notice it I hit power button on it starts for two seconds turns off then turns on again for a few seconds turns off after 4 times it stays on. Fans are going. The repair guy thinks my soundcard is cause and powersupply.

any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

Replaced soundcard and still having issues.

sounds like you need a BIOS update. sounds like the restart bug that affected many gigabyte boards since the P965 days.
 
Seems like the reboot bug happens a bit later then what happens to mine. I don't see anything on the screen at all until it stops doing it usually 4-6 times. Sometimes it does fine the first time.
