Hi guys.
I have a very odd problem my computer is having very predictable reboots.
For example, first it used to work just fine. Installed Windows XP and then I tried to install the drivers that came with the mobo (The GA-x58a-ud3r), after I did that, it started restarting every time I went into windows (but never when i went into safe mode).
So just because I didnt want to deal with it, i just decided hey I know I will reformat this, since I have nothing on it anyways. So then I go to reformat, and I go through all these steps and it gets all the way to "installing devices" (the 2nd to last step) and there it just keeps restarting over and over and over again at that step.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty much at my wits end over this.
More info on the build:
Its a new build, however all the components seem to be working and running fine (even ran a memtest x86 on the ram, and it passed).
700 W OCZ Stealth X Stream Powersupply ( someone said this would be a problem, however if it worked for several hours (4+) before hand, how could it be a problem now all of the sudden?)
Processor : i7-930
Connected Devices: 1 IDE CD/DVD drive
1 SATA 1 TB Hitachi HD
Other issues that I noticed:
After paying attention to it, I noticed that before it restarts there is first a green light that comes on by the cpu on the mobo, and then a red flashing led and then the red led just says constantly lit with the green led right next to it and then both of them turn off, and the computer restarts before the install ever finishes or gets past the installing devices part.
Please help guys, I would really love to be able to use my new hardware.
