Turned my computer on, a Thermaltake bigwater 760is, & as it was booting up ... had a power cut. when the power came back on i tried to go on computer and it loads up a NI Lifestyle M2N-SLI Deluxe screen, then goes directly to the Phoenix - AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility screen, simply save and exit, then it reboots and repeats over and over .... any help out here?

My old CrapRock mainboard did this. I just RMA'ed it and it worked fine.

Hi

before RMA
(form suppliers want you to fill in before returning broken or wrongly supplied part ?)

disconnect mains power
(vital as this can damage motherboard if power connected during this proceedure )
(some user guides give give this warning)

read manual/user guide to find cmos reset jumper
if you can not find jumper remove cmos coin battery

replace jumper on standard position or replace battery

re connect mains power & try booting again

I used this yesterday on a PC not used since 2009,
it was a old Pentium 4 which did start up after cmos reset.
After wiping the hard disk it will go on the scrap heap.

so is my hard drive battered then? its a second hand computer but worked perfectly until the power cut when it was just logging on, but everything seems okay to me, it just stuck in a reboot loop, loads bios screen, save and exit, then restarts it again, it windows 8 by the way, 5gb ram, 250g hard drive, coiled cooled graphics card and its water cooled, the last computer i had got stuck in a reboot loop & i replaced the hard drive like suggested & it completely ruined my computer.
