Just purchased a new rig from you guys.

These are the specs:

Motherboard - Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory - 2046MB RAM
Hard Drive - 160 GB
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT ASUS
PSU - Coolermaster 700W
Operating System - Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2

HDD and DVD drive are using SATA.


I have built it and it all works sweet, except for one thing...


When i press the power button it begins booting, then it turns off. Starts booting again and gets a little further, then turns off again. Then it starts again and gets a little bit further. Sometimes it does it twice some times it can be five or six times...
Then when it does get to windows, I sometimes get a BSOD. I haven't managed to read it yet...

I really wanna fix this, I googled a bit and I read something about IDE voltages and stuff, but i'm using SATA...


Please help
Much Appreciation

ahh thanks a lot, now were getting somewhere

Removed links :\


I haven't changed any of the voltages, so It must be default.
How will I know what to change it to? And what should I change it to?

Thanks a lot.

I changed it to 2.1 and I got it again.

2.2 and it works...

Is that dangerous?
it said like 2.4 2.5 etc was harmful

Will i be okay with 2.2v?
 
I will try setting it back to 2.1 volts.
It's getting late now.
I'll try more tomorrow.

I am eventually gonna overclock, need to get this fixed first.

Thanks a lot guys.
I'll post again tomorrow.
 
Had one last try.
2.1V gives me worse than the normal voltage. With it I just get the BSOD all the time, it doesn't boot up further.
2.2V boots perfect.

well im not sure actually if it is 2.2V

its +0.3V of the norm?

Ill look up this FSB thing tomorrow
 
This problems is still occuring :\

I changed the voltage to 2.1V which is correct for the RAM
+0.3 of the boards 1.8V
But the problem still persists.

I turn on the computer and it boots up a bit then powers of then begins booting a bit, then it does this once or twice more before getting to windows, once in windows I get a BSOD(it comes and goes to fast to read) and it turns of. Then when I turn it on the net time, It goes on properly. Sometimes some startup services don't work and I have to reboot though.

What is this FSB thing and how would I go about changing it?
Or could it be something other than the RAM causing this?


Sync with your FSB which is 667mhz
Click to expand...
On the ram page it says 1066?

or am i completely confused???
