I just built my first computer, but every time I hit the power button everything goes on like it was starting up, then everything turns off for about 3 seconds, and then it turns on and stays on. Is this just something my motherboard does, or is this an error that puts my computer at risk when I turn it on?

  • Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4 GHz
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
  • Cooler Master 690

This is normal, I have 2 different types and manufacturer of motherboard in my computer room that do this (Intel server S5000XVN & Asus P5-Q). I think it's part of a safe power on process.
