Asus weird post screens

Heys guys.

This is more of a need to know than actual problem.Pc post and boots fine,although i had numerous boot issues in the past,the last of what i thought was a dodgy kb,was actually a short in my tower all this time that was giving me boot nightmares.thats all been sorted now,and for the last month never had another boot problem.my question is this,ive got an Asus P5N 32E Sli,its a real overclockers dream,but y is it wen my pc post,it does it twice.i find this very weird.I flashed my bios,but its still there.Ive got issues,it loads Windows normally,just wondering should i be concerned about my hardware or mb itself.Any advice welcomed.
Thanks guys.

IF you are running some really aggressive overclock, it could be that the system is crashing before it even completes the POST, the motherboard then loads fail-safe defaults and continues on into windows?

It's a long shot but it's all I can tihnk of!

Have you tried a new BIOS?
The P5W DH had a fair number of booting quirks in the Early BIOS, if you can try a newer one. Good Luck!
