Boots twice? (P55 LE) Faulty CPU/motherboard

I just build a new computer and when I turn it on all the fans go very fast and then it shutdowns after 20 seconds then turns back on after 2 seconds. During that time the display is black. After it turns back on, the BIOS screen shows and I hear the "1-1-2 Faulty CPU/motherboard." beeps.

Thanks

The double boot is characteristic of the EVGA boards. My EVGA SLI does the same.

But if there is a fault code, it is not a characteristic... time to troubleshoot. Use 1 stick of ram, no HDD, change the PSU (if you have another one), change the GPU (same), take the board out of the case and re-assemble (in case there is a short somewhere), etc.

Don't typically all the newer motherboards (at least the i series for intel processors) have the 2 LED error code on the mobo itself. If it does you should boot with your side panel open so you can see what error code it gives you and look it up EVGA's website.
