    So as the title suggests, my girlfriend recently got an M14x two weeks ago and everytime it booted up when it first started, it did the issue where it would beep a few times and not boot unless plugged in. I flashed the bios to A04 and the beeping went away and it now boots everytime.

    The issue now is that it starts to boot with fan and lights, turns off, and reboots into the os normally, all within a few seconds. Anyone know what could be causing this issue? I'm guessing it's hardware related, but the bios is showing full ram\hdd\processor specs.

    Thanks for any input.
