((Just woke up from a good mornings sleep, and the problem still continues D: ))
Okay, so here's the deal. I have recently purchased a Sabertooth p67 motherboard, and it keeps double booting whenever I leave it shut off for about 3 seconds. Also my bios keeps resetting and it shows me a screen that says " please enter setup to recover bios setting". If I flick the switch on the PSU and wait for the computer to loose its power, and then flick it back on I cannot start my computer from the start button at the top of my computer, even though my graphics card lights are on, and my motherboard light is on. But if I unplug the power cord and plug it back in after the motherboard looses power then it will turn on. I have tried replaceing the CMOS 2032 3v battery in the motherboard, but that did not work. Also the computer boots up fine after i get past this stress-full task of re-entering the bios everytime I shutdown my computer. (salvaged the ram, powersupply, and hdd from the bottom paragraph)

Also, before this i had a maximus 4-z extreme motherboard with i7 2600k and was overclocking to around 4.6ghz, and ran a stress test on the cpu for about 4 hours. everything was fine after that but then i exited the program i used to stress test, and then my motherboards cpu pins fried my cpu and my motherboard.

Thanks, mp4ct. , hopefully the community can help me.
xD

Try reseating your motherboard.. Perhaps a short-circuit in the motherboard is causing the issue.. Pull out all power connectors and reconnect them as well. Making sure no power connectors are damaged.

List your current system specs completely; it may help.
 
p67 sabertooth, with the plate ontop of it(airflow plate)
i7 2600k 3.4ghz turboed to 3.8

And thank you i will try to reseat the motherboard, and check for damaged psu wires. brb xD
 
Still wont boot up, untill i re connect the power cord, and it still is resetting the bios :(
 
Should there be a jumper thingy at the bottom right of my motherboard, because i don't think there is one >.< ?
 
My motherboard did not have the little jumper cap on. i guess i didn't know i had to have that. and i took it off during installation. Sorry for the Inconvenience, x.x
 
Hahaha. Makes sense :p. Yup thatll do it.. The bios would've constantly resetting itself I believe without that jumper in place.. Hence the weird issue. Glad to hear it got resolved =).
 
Thanks man, Im glad it is working also... So many hours of trying to troubleshoot it. :D but yea, all better now! tyty
