Newly build pc, cant install windows

Last response: in Systems

Yeah, well. I have to reset the cmos battery before EVERY bootup, or else the GPU fans wont spin, and the screen will remain black. I can live with that, but when Im trying to install windows, it requires a reboot. So I have to turn it completely off. When im trying to get back where I was, i get a black screen.

ask me for more additional details.

Thanks!

Well the PSU can't power the PC.

I'm guessing your problem is caused by the CPU having to work harder when you reboot the PC as it has to load up all the previous data and this causes it to use more power while the Gfx card is still using a bit of power and the PSU can't power them both anymore.

It's easy to determine if the PSU is causing the issue. Remove the HD4850X2 and install an old PCI graphics card to see if it resolves the issue.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BLACK EDITION 3.2 GHZ 8 MB cache
asus M4A78T-E motherboard
ATI Radeon HD4850X2 2 GB
4GB DDR3
OCZ StealthXstream 600W

and btw, I tested the system with an old gfx card, and yet the same problem.

Unless he bought it at a local store, he'll probably have to get an RMA before shipping back.
