This is what I found out from ASUS Level 3 about Cold Boot and BIOS changes which is under the faqs section for the P5K MBs;

My system sometimes may need to power up and down twice before entering OS.
Is this normal?

Answer

This is normal if any of the following conditions are true:
1. The very first time for system to power up after AC power off.
2. Has just save and exist BIOS setup screen after setting system to overclock to an extensive level.
3. Have just adjusted memory or FSB setting in BIOS.

System will require a complete system reset (i.e. cold off) to stablize system clock if any of the conditions listed above are true.
