2) Some motherboards do a "double start". The power comes on, goes off
after a couple seconds, and then comes on again. Sometimes that behavior
can be cured with a different BIOS version. It is unclear, whether Asus
knew this was happening when the BIOS was released or not. It seems to
be a fairly common problem, and the fact that it can be cured with a
different BIOS, suggest more QA work is needed.
Any chance this tends to happen with cheap PSUs?
I've never seen this, but I tend to over buy on my PSUs, avoiding the
cheapo brands.
That being said, I did have a system that would lose the PS_GOOD signal
whenever two or more drives attempted to power up simultaneously. On
initial boot this wasn't a problem, PS_GOOD just stayed down until all
the drives were up, but it was a real joy to hunt this one down since it
only happened after my configured 15 minutes of drive inactivity.
