I'm having the same issues with the following signatures with my new P5K-E with a Q6600 with VISTA 64 bit & BIOS 906;
1) Any time I change the BIOS settings for over clocking and save and exit it briefly powers off and then back on and boots up just fine. Only occurs when I’m tweaking over clocking in BIOs. Other BIOS changes do not have any impact.
2) After a Cold Startup (Power Supply has been off) it briefly powers off and then boots up just fine. Power Supply is a 500 Watt Antex.

3) It boots up just fine if no BIOS changes or from a Warm Startup (Power Supply is on after I shut down the PC from Windows).

I called ASUS and they told me it was my Antex power supply so I decided to buy a new different brand Power Supply from Frys (Sale rep told me I could bring it back for a refund if it did not fix the problem) and had the same issues. This must be a Motherboard issue. I called ASUS again and got up to level 3 Tech support and he told me to clear the CMOS and hung up which I did with no luck.

My question is other than be annoyed with this issue is there anything to worry about like damage to the motherboard or components?

The motherboard seems to work great with my current OC settings and I can still exchange or get my money back from Newegg.

Hope somebody can give some advice since I tried at the ASUS forum with no luck.

Note the Max that I have OC it so far is 3 GHz (9x333). Temps are cool on air around upper 20s on all four cores.
