Hi all,
Fitted my new asus p8z68 deluxe bundle on Saturday and it was working fine until it froze, I restarted only for it to restart itself again 7 seconds into booting back up.
I tried to update battlefield bad company 2 and it froze again, all in all it froze up 3 times, it was late on in the night so I decided to have a look at it Sunday morning.
Yesterday all I did was open it up an I noticed I was using my old red sata cable off my old hdd which was 4 years old, I hadn't used the new cable that came with the motherboard as I didn't think it would make difference. I decided to switch out the old one for the new cable out of the motherboard box which has printed on it sata 6gb/s (my new hdd is the wd caviar black which is 6gb/s) Since then fingers crossed I have had no more problems as it was on all day yesterday. Do you think the cable could have caused the problem? Thank you in adv for any response.
