Ok whats up with these dual boots I get when I start my computer..actually It didnt happen for a while but now its happening again..I think this is not relative to overclocking because it happens with stock clocks too?..oh and it does not happen if I restart my computer AFTER I have gotten it running ( meaning after the "second proper boot" ) . Its like in the first boot my computer need a "second" start to get itself running like a champ..?

Help me abit here because this is quiet random. I happened ALSO with my previous set up ( MSI P35 neo-F and E5200, BloodIron and E5200 and now with Q6600 and BloodIron..) And remember..the dual booting stopped for a while and now it has started again..'

:toast: thank you in advance.

i had an msi neo-f too and it did the double booting thing too.
i didnt find it a problem since the pc was on most of the time.

try setting all options manually in the bios instead of leaving some on auto.

My MSI G33M board does this if the powersupply is turned off.

My DFI LP JR P45-T2RS does that when it is highly overclocked. Doesn't do it on lower OCs or at stock, though, and in either case it is stable. No idea what is causing it, though.
