recently i upgraded my pc everything except the motherboard and the pc works great...
after some time i got myself the motherboard i was after but after plugging everything in and switching it on it wont boot.. the power for the motherboard and graphics card comes on then within 5-10secs it turns itself off, then turns itself back on after a few seconds and keeps doing so...

what could be the issue anyone have any ideas??

my pc spec is as follows

PSU - gx 850
Graphics card - Msi twin frost III hawk geforce gtx 560 ti
Motherboard - gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
CPU - intel core I5-3470 3.2ghz
ram - x1 Kingston 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 DIMM SR x8
hdd- x1 seagate 1tb x1 seagate 2tb
fans - x1 120mm
cd drive- Optiarc dvd rw ad-7280s
Monitor - Benq gl2440h digital

the other motherboard that i have is a MSI H61m-p20 (g3) and the above build works fine with it its just when i put the gigabyte in..it reboots

But everything works fine with the MSI board? I'd just return the gigabyte board and get a new one. Perhaps you just got a bad board. You'll still need to reformat your drive and reinstall windows when you do get a new board though.

You need to reformat your hard drive. When you install windows on a computer it saves the motherboard. If it doesn't see that motherboard it thinks that you put the hard drive in a new computer and will keep rebooting until it sees the motherboard it was installed on.

I've only used gigabyte in my own builds so I find them to be great >.> Gigabyte puts 2 bios in their motherboards in case one fails you have a backup. I find it hard to believe that you found 2 faulty boards with 4 faulty bios but hey it could happen. It must be something else, but you've eliminated a short, I'm going to guess that you don't have a mobo speaker? It would be nice to know what error beeps you are getting if any. Do you have all the little power pieces put in right? The +/- for power, led, hdd, etc and not accidentally having one of them on the reset so it keeps resetting itself?
