PC Startup Issues, possible double-booting
This issue started yesterday, and I thought perhaps it may have been a one off, but the same issue has happened today. So when I press the button to turn on my PC the light comes on and it begins to startup, then after a few seconds it switches itself off, then it comes on again and goes off after a few seconds, and then it comes on again and boots up normally. I did see online something about double-booting, but I don't know where I would start to try and determine the cause.
The only thing I have noticed out of the ordinary is the computer didn't automatically change the time when the clocks went forward, I opened the 'adjust date/time' menu and pressed 'sync now' to get the correct time. I turned off the computer about 20:30 last night, and when I turned the computer on today it had yesterdays date and the time of 20:30. So I am guessing this could be linked to my issue. I thought maybe the CMOS battery is low, but in my experience if a battery was low it would have a date of something like the year 2000 everytime the computer is turned on, which is what I've had on previous computers. But I assume the battery is OK if it has remembered the time from last night. I have had the computer since 2018 and it still has the original CMOS battery, so I'm still not ruling it out as a possible cause.
Any help is much appreciated.
