hi guys

i just put a new pc together today;

E8400
MSI P35 Diamond
2GB DDR3
80GB Sata HD
600W OCZ PSU

To start with it showed graphics info like bios version etc. then when it got to the windows loading bar it rebooted. Now it just shows the graphics info then reboots. I've gone into bios, cpu = @30', memory voltage is correct, i've tried 1 stick instead of 2, different video cards, tried to reformat but obv. if it won't let me past the graphics info this isn't possible.

Suggestions please

thanks

Wipe the HDD completely and install a FRESH copy, my friend had your issue, I believe I fixed it like that (he saved it for a few days on Recovery so u can do that and get precious porn family photos off)


Try that if you havent... Also FYI dont know if you know, with new components like a motherboard and processor you need a FRESH install of Windows

That is what you get with your cheap skate bastard B grade mobo weee laddeh

Check for the latest bios, am fairly sure the P35s needed an update to run the 45nm processors.

That also happened to me when I was about to select a partition...


Skip installing on a new partition, and then DELETE the old Partition, and then you will have to Format the drive, and then you can make a partition for windows to install on




hit me up on xfire if you need more info/details...

Xfire: ownage4u


and np

I hate having shit like that happen to me

After talking to a mate on xfire he showed me a thread (can't find url atm) where a guy with exactly the same mobo was having the same problem. The only way he could boot would be to reset cmos, into bios, exit without saving. I did this and was just about able to reformat the hd, upon restarting having copied the fresh files i just get a message about windows can' find the boot disk ... this just gets better and better.

@ snips i'll run memtest sometime today yeah

That's what you get for buying MSI.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Regardless of what I paid for it it was B Grade, meaning the product is fully 100% working, but accessories, box etc. may be missing/damaged. Anyway thanks for the input, in the meantime I will leave you with this;
