hi guys :hello:

i have this system:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, Gigabyte x48-DQ6 mobo, 4 GB Corsair Twin2x4098-6400C4DHX , Gigabyte ATI HD4870, Corsair HX-620w power supply, Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 and WD 640GB Caviar Green and an old Maxtor 40GB IDE hard drive.

and here is my problem: since 2 days ago each time i turn on my computer, when it starts to load windows xp, right after finishing the loading screen it restarts :(
and i tried to install a new clear copy on each one of my hard drives and connected them separately, and tried them one by one but.... i cant even install windows xp or vista :| right in the middle of installation process it restarts again :|

i tried to run partition magic or kaspersky anti-virus or acronis partition manager from a bootable cd, just right after the program loads it happens again:|



please help me! what should i do??? where is the problem??? i need to work my pc :|

thanks for your help and your time

Did you check your pc's temperatures in the BIOS? Could be that something is overheating.

Could be a memory problem. Try running Memtest.

It couldn't hurt to leave it run longer. I had a new set of OCZ Ram that caused my system to reboot, but when I ran Memtest it took a couple hours before it started to error.

You could also have a PSU problem, 620W should be enough for your system, but that doesn't mean there isn't something wrong with yours. If you have a spare one or can borrow one, give it a try. If not, you could try put the absolute minimum load on it (one HDD, optical drive 1 stick of RAM etc.) just to see if you can load windows.

Give that a try and and let us know what happens.

until now the memtest has been running for 4 hours, i will leave it for another ~ 4 hours.

i will try to test PSU right after the memtest.
