ERROR with booting my computer!

Korsair · Jul 12, 2014

So i built my computer back in December of 2013 and starting a couple of months ago, when i press the power button it immediately shuts off. Then about 3 seconds later, it turns on. Any suggestions to help solve this issue? I do not know whether it is the case, the motherboard, or even my PSU. My case is a fractal design define r4, Motherboard is a Gigabyte UD3P (amd), and the PSU is a evga Supernova 650.

Please list you sytem's specs in it's entirety including what type of cooling you have installed. That will make anyone trying to help better informed and will afford you input from folks with similar systems/configurations.

First thing I'd try is to grab a flashlight and inspect the header where the switch plugs into the motherboard (with the manual/diagram handy) and make sure you haven't cross plugged the power button. That can make it do strange things, and it's so so easy to do.

I have checked and replugged that many times. It still does it. My first guess is a shortage with the power button wires.

I reset the bios back to default setting and then i changed my memory back to the X.M.P settings and it looks like was fixed! Thank! now when i turn it on, i don't get any sign of double booting! thanks
