Ok, where to start, when I start up the computer the bios and everything loads up fine with a beep that checks everything off perfectly, ok the windows logo comes up and the blue bar .. it loads all the way, then the screen goes black and the computer shuts down, In order for me to start it up I have to switch the I to 0 in the back of the power supply, take off the power wire wait 5 seconds then put the wire back switch the supply on and turn the computer on.. One more thing.. when I try restoring the computer it gets trought the blue screen part till it comes upon a menu that says press enter to continue , R to repair and esc to cancel, the computer shuts off again like i explained up there with the same procedure to turn it back on.. ok things ive tried... Ive tried clearing the CMOS, replacing the battery on the Mboard, taking the battery out for a minute to reset bios, Ive also tried messing with some of the bios settings.. ive also tried lowering the FBS and I also tried increasing the voltage with no luck, Ive tried different harddrives, different CPU's, differnt sticks of ram in different configurations.... nothing would work =(, the computer specs are:
Asrock Mobo K7v series..
AMD athlon 2100+
1gb Kingston Ram
Nvidia FX 5600 256 vid card by MSI
420 Watt powersupply
and plenty of cooling including a TT CPU cooler...
oh and a 120gb 7200 RPM WD caviar..
