Boot > Shutdown > Boot > Works

So I overclocked my E8400 to run at 3.6GHz, FSB 400 x 9, Exit & Save Changes, the computer shuts down for a few seconds, then boots up again and loads Windows normally.

This occurs every time I start my computer, first I thought it was the vcore voltage too low, so I upped it little by little to 1.375V, which seemed to help at first, but now the problem returned.


Are there additional options in BIOS I should Enable/Disable?
It's not a heat problem as in load the temperature never goes higher than 53C.

Specs in signature.

does it only do this when overclocked? Otherwise it could be switch bounce issue?

This only occures after chaning settings in the bios or every time your turn the PC on and off? Mine does this when I change something like FSB or sommetimes voltages in the bios.

Also there was a bug on the intel MB that caused this issue if I remember correctly. people would unplug their HD's the first time they try to boot it, then plug them in, then turn it on (its hard on your drives)

Sounds like the double boot issue.

 

[filthysanchez]

It's a P35 thing

I had a similar problem when my memory voltage was too low.

 

[tuaarita]

@Justintoxicated, yes and every time.


What's a safe memory voltage for me then, I dont know the default and cant check now.

I guess it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't hurt the hardware.

It's normal... Don't worry.

Umm no, it's not normal haha, it's unusual but if it doesn't do any harm then it's OK.

Case closed(?).
