Is it normal for my computer to turn on then off then on again?

Sometimes when I turn my computer on it turns off then it turns on.  I have not had any other problems with this and there is no error in the debug.  My friends Maximus 775 board used to do this a lot to.  Is this an intel thing?

Interesting.  I know about the GD-70 that's for am3 but wasnt aware of another gd-80 for p55.  I know there is the trinergy but hasn't been released yet. Is there a gd80 for 1366?  Anyway I have the latest bios revision but I'll try putting down to stock today and clear and test it some more.
edit:  looks like its a p55 issue

evga users have noted this.
Pretty much covers all bases if you skim all of it. Makes sense from a support perspective. But can get annoying. I think EVGA is thinking it over carefully since there could be unforseen implications in allowing the average user to have control over this.

See my thread here about gd65: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133310.0
upon calling c/s & futher research, this phenomenon seems to be labeled "fake boot" or "double boot".
(msi blames this on the p55 chipset & non-stock memory timings) apparently this is normal behavior (somewhat), though in reading more forums, there is some speculation that under certain circumstances this should NOT happen. resetting bios, and tinkering here & there should "fix" the condition. I don't like tinkering around so much with resetting my system 100x, as I have an old 450watt psu, so I'd like to keep it around for a few years, as opposed to tracking down a possible solution only to have to invest in a new psu prematurely or worse dealing with an rma. maybe one day I'll write up a list of things I've tried & one time or another & see If it will go away.
Your situation may be exacerbated by the fact your system is underpowered. See my post in your thread..
