Now, I'm new to building my own computer, and my lingo isn't up to par, but just try to bear with me. I bought this motherboard a few days ago, and after getting it all installed, I turn it on, and run the setup. Everything looks fine, so i save and reboot. It starts back up again, and immediately goes to the "launch windows repair/start windows normally" screen. I choose to start normally, and the screen where the MS logo is shows up (where the four dots of light collide). But before the dots could even combine, everything stops, my computer makes a noise (sounds like a fan running for about one second), and it restarts itself instantly. It continues to do this over and over in one giant loop.
I've tried leaving only two sticks of ram in, I've tried a different PSU, different eSATA cables, and taken the graphics card out. Nothing changes. It's entirely possible that I could've damaged the HDD or motherboard during installation, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.
