GA-X38-DQ6 double post after disconnected from power.

[rossb]

I always disconnect power to my PSU by turning off my power manager when I am done with my PC for the day. The first time I boot the PC after re-applying power to the PSU the PC will boot for a second, sound a post beep, turn off for a second, turn on a second time, sound a post beep for a second time, and then boot normally.

Any subsequent cold boots only post once as long as I do not disconnect power to my PSU. Why is my motherboard double posting after disconnecting and re-applying power to the PSU?

My X38-DQ6 also leaves my optical mouse light on when I turn off the PC if power is still available at the PSU.

My P35C-DS3R does that too if I turn off the switch on the PSU. Is it maybe some sort of failsafe measure?

Dear
the system "boot for a second, sound a post beep, turn off for a second, turn on a second time, sound a post beep for a second time, and then boot normally. " is for stable test while you change your componer.

DiD this happen one time or every time you roots your system?

Only if AC power is disconnected does it do this.

Is this okay if the computer double boots after AC power disconnection. I face the same problem when I OC the FSB to 400 and reduce multiplier to 8. With Stock settings or FSB 320 with Multiplier 10 this does not happen.

I am using E7300 proccy and GS-EP43-DS3L mobo.

Please advise.
