I just installed an fx-8350 in my computer and when I turned it on , It kept restarting over and over randomly. I updated the bios and that didn't do anything. I'm thinking the problem is software based because it runs fine when in safe mode or when I run ultimate boot CD or something.I exentually broke down and Reinstalled windows and It worked fine until i installed the nvidia drivers for my gtx 760 and then It started doing it again. I turned of the geforce app to not start in startup. And it kept doing the same thing.

fx-8350
gtx 760
8 GB G.Skill sniper series
1TB seagate Hybrid Drive
msi 970a-g46 MOBO

What power supply do you have? It sounds as if the new CPU is putting you over the limit of what it can handle.

a 700w rocketfish PSU. According to pcpartpicker its estimated wattage was way under that. The psu is a few years old but It was working fine before the switch.
