    New build constantly restarting, every second or so. What could be causing it?

    Heh heh, yup, it was most definitely on the motherboard :)

    Thanks guys :) Faulty motherboards aside, I'm surprised at just how easy it was to build it once I had healthy components.

    Everything's up and running without a glitch, motherboard number 3 did the trick. Thanks for all the help guys :)

    I bought another motherboard today (stuck with the Z87 D3HP) and so far, so good! Haven't built the whole system yet, but the dreaded problems getting into the BIOS and constant system restarts, aren't an issue anymore, and RAM is working in all 4 slots. 3rd time lucky? I hope so!

    Thanks Wazza :) With the way my luck's been, when it comes to the motherboard, I'm going to have to pick it up at a bricks and mortar place. I can't afford to spend more time sending stuff back and to. At least this way, I can exchange it on the day if my luck continues :)

    No need at all Wazza, it was worth it, just to make sure. Plus, it was probably time for a new PSU anyway :)

    New build constantly restarting, every second or so. What could be causing it?

    Aye, getting really frustrated now. This means I'm going to be waiting another week for a replacement, and after this weekend, I'll rarely be coming home. I was hoping to take the new system with me. I paid the best part of £700 (more than, if you include the PSU I needlessly bought, just in...

    Thanks guys. Really hoping it's a case of third time lucky!

    Yup...fairly sure one of them is just half a pin.

    There is one that doesn't look quite right, to me.

    I'm afraid that's all getting a bit beyond me (this is my first build), but thanks anyway :) I'll check out the CPU socket.

    New build constantly restarting, every second or so. What could be causing it?

    Yeah, made sure that I've only screwed the fan down lightly. Reset the CMOS, no change. Haven't installed the OS because I haven't even hooked up a drive yet. Running with just the motherboard, CPU+Fan, RAM, and GPU. Didn't want to start building/setting up properly until I knew the motherboard...

    Got the Bios updated, but unfortunately no luck, same problem when the stick's in slots 1 or 3, whether on its own, or along with the other stick in any other slot. Made sure the CPU cooler was only tightened loosely. So...another faulty motherboard? :/

    That's great thanks Wazza, giving it a try now :)

    Thanks for the advice guys! Sorry to sound stupid, but how would I update the bios? I could save the file to a stick, and then what would I do?

    New build constantly restarting, every second or so. What could be causing it?

    Well...I got the replacement motherboard, but...things still aren't quite right. This time it boots up into BIOS with no problems (with video output too!), but only if I don't have the sticks of RAM in slots 1 or 3. I can boot with a single stick in either slot 2 or 4, or with both sticks in...

    Bailey has sent me an RMA for the board :) I was willing to send all the components back, but I explained that I didn't know whether it was the board, CPU, or RAM, explained everything I've tried and he said that it sounds like a motherboard problem.

    Unfortunately I only have a couple of DDR2 sticks, no other DDR3.

    Thanks guys. Just tried with the new PSU. Exactly the same problem.
