Every time I turn on the system, it goes through 3 boots before actually booting up. It will start to boot up, shut down, start to boot up, shut down, and then fully boot on the third try. Is it supposed to do this? It also makes some high-pitched beeping sounds right away. It came with BIOS 1.6, and I haven't flashed it yet.
I ran it through Prime for about 4 hours last night, and there were no errors. The max CPU temp was 47. The only thing I can think is that my power supply only has a 4-pin connector instead of an 8-pin connector. It does have a 24-pin main connector, and I connected the extra molex connector to the motherboard. I don't have any fans connected to the motherboard. I have two 6-pin PCIe connectors on the video card (even though it wants one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector). I haven't done any overclocking. One strange thing is that it defaulted my CPU to the 7x multiplier, and I had to change it to 9x. Anyways, here's my setup (everything's new except the power supply):
- MSI Neo2-FR
Q6600
4x1GB HP DDR2-667
ATI 2900Pro 512-bit 512MB
Antec TrueControl II-550
