Hi, I have recently built a new gaming computer for the first time and have been having problems that i cant get to the bottom of. I have tried loads of things but still cant solve it. When i startup the computer the windows load bar freezes and i have to reset etc to try again has done this from first boot up. Some times it works and doesnt freeze and then the next time it doesnt, Im pulling my hair out with this. See below for my spec:
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
I7 930 2.8 GHz
6 Gb Geil Ram
1000w Corsair PSU
Asus standard supplied sound card
V8 Coolermaster CPU Cooler
1TB samsung
Vista 64
Ive tried the following:
Disabling startup Items via msconfig
updating all drivers
updating BIOS driver
Checking all cables are connected properly
Removing Ram and trying 1 etc
Removing sound card
clearing CMOS
re-installing Visa 64 (several times)
upgraded from 700w to 1000w PSU as i thought that may be the fault
Re formatting the hardrive
Ive tried all these and possibly more that i cant remember but have had no joy whatsoever. I bought all the components new so is a complete new build. Please could anyone assist if possible?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
