So everytime i start it up it gets to windows and just restarts. Me and my friend put it together and it is all hooked up right what could be wrong cansomeone help?

Depending on the old board, you might need to reinstall/repair Windows.

How would i know to reinstall windows? and my old board is asus M4A88T-v EVO/USB3 let me know

 

[alexoiu]

Was SATA set to IDE or AHCI on the old board? Set accordingly the new one.
Check also if starting in safe mode.

Not sure how to do that with out being able to get to desktop. Can i do it another way?

Go into BIOS on startup..

 

[alexoiu]

You can't access the BIOS?
"So everytime i start it up it gets to windows and just restarts"
Press DEL before loading Windows.

then what alexoiu?

 

[alexoiu]

Then switch SATA to IDE and see if Windows is loading when powering up..

If your running SATA drives theres no need to do this.

 

[Sting2244]

yes i am running sata drives but why wont windows start?

 

[TheBlackPumpkin]

I know you've said everything is installed right, but is your RAM seated properly? Also, do you have a Windows Repair disk?

 

[Sting2244]

RAM is seated fine and i dont know if i still have one.

 

[alexoiu]

Don't you have a friend or colleague with some PC knowledge that could help you?

 

[Sting2244]

Hes stumped too im going to restore files
and if that dosent work im just gonna wipe the harddrive reinstall windows 7

Alright, I have a couple more suggestions, first one is to just make sure the settings in BIOS are setup for SATA..If they aren't thats what would be causing the problem. Dont be afraid to go to different menus in BIOS, just make sure that if you change a setting on accident that you exit BIOS without saving.

The other idea I have is what fixed this exact problem with me a few months ago. In your BIOS look for something called RAM or Memory Frequency, speed, something of that sort, or it may be called data rate. The speed listed will be either 800, 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866, 2133 (or 2400). Basically what you want to do is after you find the right value is set it to the next lowest number in the list.

This is basically Underclocking your RAM, I had the same issue, essentially the RAM may be damaged and not capable of running at its max speed.
