My computer was running just fine. I set everything up perfectly started it up installed some drivers and restarted. Now it will stay on for about 5 seconds before turning off then turning on then turning off then turning on over and over again until i intervene. What gives? I even rem oved a video card and a few accessories but it doesnt help.

1155 i7
8gigs Gskil ram
x2 460 GTX
750wat 4 rail antec PSU

can you boot into safe mode?

you may want to do that and then uninstall\reinstall each new driver one at a time to test (install one driver, restart.. install next one, restart).. see which one might be the culprit.

If that doesnt do anything... memtest mang...

Mine was doing this when my power supply was going, try unplugging some unnecessary devices if you can and restart.

This could also be a possibility... though Antec is usually a good PSU... hmmm

Even the good ones go once in awhile.  Admittedly, the one of mine that went was a OCZ, but when I moved it over to a less demanding computer it worked fine for about 3-6 more months.

I don't know much about multirail psus, but dont you need to make sure that its pretty spread out on each rail so you don't try overpowering one rail?

Windows 7
Can't boot into safe mode
Can't get far enough to reinstall windows let alone get into the bios
No overclocking

But the weird thing is it tries to reboot itself everytime it turns off. It's a never ending proccess. It's only on for about 5 seconds.

Memory could not have been seated correctly.  Or any of the other issues, could've been grounding etc..
