Hi everyone.
Basically my computer just constantly reboots over and over and over again. These are new parts which I have installed which are the p8z68v and an i5 2500k and I'm yet to get it to work.
The parts are second hand because I was on a right budget and couldn't get them parts new anymore.
These are the full specs of the computer.
Xfx gtx 295
Intel i5 2500k
Asus p8z68 v-lx
Corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7
Antec 900 case
OCZ gameXstream 850w psu
So here I start. Basically it turns on the dram light and cpu light turns on once and then turns off when the computer turns of. I read that they turn on when they are working correctly and then turn back of, and they flash when there is an issue, so my guess is it isn't that. Anyway then it turns off and turns back on and does this continuously. Here is a video of what happens Reboot - YouTube I know the cables are all over the place but thats temporary.
I have tried resetting the CMOS also no change, tried different configuration of the TPU An EPU switches tried reconnecting every cable multiple times. Tried to place the gpu in a different slot and also tried it without a gpu.
Tried placing 1 ram stick in each slot an then trying to reboot also no luck.
I have tried to reposition the cpu by taking it all apart and replacing it. I looked to see if there is any bent pins which I cannot see even with a magnifying glass.
I'm not connecting my monitor etc etc although I don't think that will make the computer boot?
I didn't actually reformat the HDD before putting the "new" parts in as I didn't think I would have needed too. The parts that came out before was a ASUS p5p43td and a Q8300 cpu.
I took a photo when resitting the cpu and i dont think there is any bent pins on the mobo, although i'm no expert on what they look like.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
