hello, i just recently put together a new computer for the first time, so far the actual performance of the computer is good and have no problems with it. the problem i am having is that at random times when i go to start up the computer it wont post and goes in a loop of starting up getting to where its about to post and restarts, the only way i can fix it is to turn on and off the psu, after doing that it posts and starts normaly. the specs on my computer are:

intel q9550 2.83 ghz
radeon hd 4870
corsair 4gb (2x2gb) ddr2
ga-x48-ds4
corsair cmpsu-750tx 750w
vista premium 64-bit
wd se16 wd6400aaks 640gb 7200rpm

When i use bad settings in overclock (memory i think) i get this problem with the same mobo.It seems like iIt tries to boot 2-3 times and then reset bios. I don't power off the psu i just let it reboot until it's fine. I'm not getting this error if i don'T use bad OC settings.. i would go set memory timings and voltage manually.
