Hello All,

Just built my computer past two days using the Z390 Maximus Hero XI with 9700k. So far its been fine have windows installed and everything is in working order except one thing.

When I turn of computer at the back and turn the computer on again it quickly lights up and restarts twice within 2-3 seconds then goes through the post bios screen and into os is there something the motherboard is checking or mem check? I don't know whats causing this.

I have updated the bios to 0702 before the os install and I have not changed anything in the bios except set ai overclock to xmp II for memory.

Kind Regards

Paul

Normal behavior for the board when it loses power completely from the PSU. It cycles twice to set bus clocks and multipliers.

Yeah I got this also, with an i9 9900k installed, everyone seems to think it is normal so nothing to worry about, the only thing I did do was flash back to bios 0602 because 0702 was causing me a few BSOD issues.
Windows 11 | Rog Maximus Z690 Hero | i9-14900K | Corsair Vengeance DDR5 4800mhz 64GB | MSI 4090 SUPRIM X | Apollo x16 | Quantum 2626 | ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ | H150i RGB Pro XT | AX1200i | Dark Core Pro SE | K100 RGB


This also happens if you enable EuR power saving within BIOS.
