Just put my new system together and it will not boot. The motherboard is the IP35 Pro. I have attached all power cables as indicated, installed the ram, HD, processor (Q66OO). tried to power up the machine and it kind of powers up briefly, powers down - and then briefly powers up again (on a sort of loop). I have to disconnet the power cable to stop it booting briefly..

Anyone got any ideas to my problem, I have reset cmos etc, but that does do anything?
 
Silly question but did you put the brass looking risers on the backplate before you mounted the motherboard onto it?
 
Ok sorry..

Hardware is as follows...

Q6000

BFG 8000GTX

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2

Currently just got one 36GB Raptor Drive, until OS is installed

Tagan 700w PSU

Cheers
 
What is plugged into the board at the moment?....

I'm not asking you to do this now, but the best thing to do when building a new system is to verify it runs outside the case with minimal components, then add more.... once you know it runs, then add it to the case.... (simply sit it on the mobo box is fine)

Anyways, see question above....
 
Hi mate..

Thanks for the reply - well i have disconnected all the components and it is still doing the same thing, powers on for like 3-5 secs goes off powers back on etc.

My first self build :(

I have only the two power connectors connected to the mobo as well as the processor, and that is it? Faulty mobo?
 
Do you have a 4 pin, or 8 pin connector connected at all?.....

If 8 pin try just 4 pin, or vice versa.

You got both sticks of ram in to?.... try one? in each slot.
 
I had a mobo that was dead and did power on then off power on then off so on.. But keep it you will see, That was my first build two!
 
Have you checked that you've wired up the on/off and reset switches properly? You could try completely removing them and just shorting the right two pins with a screwdriver.

PK!
