I just completed a new PC build a couple weeks back and after moving the PC to it present location I have it and the rest of the gear (monitor, audio, label printer, desk lamp) all connected to a power strip that I turn off at night or when not in use to save power. Now, when I power on, the power comes on for a second or two, the drops off again for a second or two, then comes back on and completes the power up. If the power to the PC isn't turned off at night it does not do this double power dance. The details are:
Asus x99-Pro/USB3.1 motherboard
Thermaltake Touchpower TPD-070M power supply
My guess is one or the other of these components is doing this and I don't know which one it is. I don't believe this is a huge problem, but it would be better if power didn't cycle twice as often as needed. Anyone know what the deal is and is there a setting to prevent this. If worse comes to worse I guess I could switch the PC power to an unswitched outlet and then use the power strip to switch the other items.
