New Gaming Rig Advice..

Ahhh I see! January of 2016. I'd be a lot more happy right now if it hadn't of started doing that quick restart loop.

Don't worry about the loop - did that when you put the memory in first time. And then it changed briefly with memory placement. It's an ambiguous problem - just needs a bit more tinkering to identify the actual issue.
 
Just gone and took the battery out so it'll have a good few hours without it, couldn't resist!

It's just worrying me that I'm not even getting to that screen now, as you can tell I'm a worrier and things like this grate on me haha.
 
Right, sleep for me. Suggest you do the same otherwise you'll be dreaming about silicon and not the fake, unnaturally shaped feminine kind.

GN - catch you tomorrow.

You're not alone in that - troubleshooting issues like this make most people obsess.

Watch a film, read a book etc anything that isn't PC related :)

Right so goodish news.. sort of. Just put the motherboard battery in. And on the 3rd restart it has stayed turned on but same problem as yesterday, no signal to my monitor....

It either restarts on a loop and 3rd time gets to that UEFI blue screen and restarts again or on a rare occasion stays turned on but my monitor has nothing on it.

Afternoon, Beady.

This is with a strip downed rig and using onboard gfx?

Afternoon! No this was just with the battery put back in, left everything as it was. Left the battery out over night and only just put it back in (thought I'd test it first before stripping everything down). The good thing is my power supply seems fine which is what I was worried about.
 
OK, if you have the time now - strip it down and post back.

It probably is - but i'm afraid that hasn't disproved that the PSU is at fault - unfortunately it's not that simple.

You can have systems boot up, play games but suffer random BSOD/restarts/cold boot issues etc.. and it could be a faulty PSU (could also be any number of other things - but giving an example how difficult it can be to troubleshoot components without spare ones to hand.)
 
if we don't make any headway with a skeleton setup then we'll work on the theory that the BIOS has become corrupted ad try restoring it. As there's enough anecdotal evidence (via gigabyte forums) to suggest that this may be the problem.

This the right cable for the onboard graphics right?
 
Although, if you don't get any luck we'll clear the CMOS as you tried it first with the gfx card in (bad beady!) :D.
