So my components finally arrived for my i7 build.
NEW: Gigabyte EX58 UD5
NEW: Intel i7 920 D0 (retail)
NEW: Patriot Viper 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz (UD5 boots it at 1066MHz for some reason and rates it at 1.5V instead of 1.65V)
[from previous system:]
nVidia 9800GX2
OCZ 780W ModXStream
Western Digital 500GB (have two and a Samsung F1 1TB which are not currently installed)
Samsung 22x DVD
Coolermaster 690
Everything from previous system was working perfectly.
I can get into BIOS and install OS' but when it comes to booting them it just restarts after the little windows animation. Probably worth noting that the restart isnt like a normal restart; it turns everything off, pauses and then turns back on.
Ive tried Windows 7 RC and Windows XP, both get to the little loading animations then the system restarts. Ive also tried installing and booting from different hard drives.
Really dont know what could be causing this . . .
any ideas ?
