I had this problem when I first got my PC although it seemed like an easy fix. Asus motherboards do tend to turn on and off and then on again once if the power to the PSU has been turned off or disconnected. Do you turn the computer off at the back of the power supply when it's not in use? If so then that could be the cause. Does it still re-boot multiple times on a warm boot? If the problem persists even when you have left the PSU on after the computer shuts down I would suggest doing the following.
If your system is not overclocked then I would suggest going into the bios and loading optimized defaults. After that is selected load and restart the system. After you have done that turn off the system and while the computer is turned off unplug it from the wall or the back of the power supply and clear the CMOS. You may have to consult your motherboard manual on how to do this. There are also many tutorials on how to do this online. If you feel comfortable doing it it might also be worth checking that the memory modules are seated correctly in the slots on the motherboard. You could also try disconnecting all the drives except the boot drive and see if this changes anything. This includes disconnecting the disk drive. If this fails to fix the problem or if you don't feel comfortable doing any of this then give PCS a call. They will help you out.
