Unusual stop-n-go booting pattern with P35-DS3L

[core2slow]

spec in sig..

Anywho, I had this computer for about a week, with the first few days for tinkering/OCing/stressing. Now after that process, im using the computer like normal, but now, whenever i press the power button to turn the computer on, it would start spinning the fans for a second, then shuts off for another second, and then proceeds to booting up normally. All this is done automatically by the computer. Do you think the PSU is hiccuping due to the overwhelming (which i doubt) demand of power? Maybe it's the motherboard? Is there anyway that i could possibly be undervolting the CPU thus causing the disruption of power upon bootup?

Pretty sure its normal. mine does it quite often after unplugging the power cord.

i think i had similar issues with my mobo in the past, in a slightly different scenario,,,, after a day it functioned normal again

how long has this been happening ?

3/4th into the OCing process. I read somewhere that the smart fan needs to be disabled in BIOS. has anyone tried it?

you can use EASY TUNE 5 from gigabyte to control that feature, no need for doing it in bios

happens to me 100% of the times. my OC is stable, but everytime i shutdown/restart/adjust something impt in bios. Hasn't really caused me any real problems but i'm glad to know i'm not the only one. MB: DS3P rev 2.0 F6 bios

That's exactly when it happens with mine. Only time I see it is after unplugging the power cord.
