Second issue I'm having is my computer does this... weird thing sometimes when I turn it on, it'll power for 1 second, shut down and then restart. Doesn't feel normal to me.

I have noticed this behaviour when starting the machine for the first time after completely removing power (unplugging/switching off psu). When I maintain power to the machine during shutdown, I do not see this behaviour. I assume this is normal. Does that describe your situation?

With the X99 micro2 motherboard if I have no power going from the wall socket to the PC and then I have power and turn my PC on, the PC will start for 1 second turn itself off and restart. This is normal as the motherboard is synching. It's been that way since the X58 motherboard. This is at the default BIOs settings.

Sounds like what I'm experiencing. I normally turn the surge protector off to my entire PC setup. I'll leave it on and see if anything changing.
 
It seems like that's the case, just feels weird to have that happen.
