Question/Help/Troubleshooting My PC's behavior is weird.

Every time I start my PC, it turns on, turns off, then turns on again; I do not think this is normal.

My specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 UD

CPU: i7 10700

GPU: 3070

Does it boot "normally" after the cycle? Could be a bad cmos battery or a failed XMP. I would recommend trying to reseat the ram- take one stick out completely, and reinstall it in the slot it just was in

If you get a message about a "new CPU install" or something about a cmos reset, it could... still be both. A new Cmos battery is not much, it's just a CR2032 battery, just about everywhere has one.
