Hello all. Having an issue and would appreciate your help. I have just put together a new computer ground up. All parts newly delivered via Newegg.
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920 stock speeds and cooling fan/heat sink. Removed factory thermal paste and replaced with Artic Silver 5.
ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard.
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model.
XFX HD-587A-ZNF9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire.
Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive.
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified.
OS: Win 7 64.
AZZA Helios 910 Black Japanese SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.
I installed hardware correctly, as far as I can tell. Press power, everything powers up (fans, drives, etc...). Got into BIOS and set CD/DVR as primary boot drive. Put in Win 7 64 bit into CD/DVD drive. Win 7 starts to load, but can't get past full install of OS. Computer freezes for about 10 seconds, then power is cut off, screen goes black (no input), then power comes back on, goes off, on, off, etc... screen remains dark.
Just before it freezes and shuts off, the red LED on mobo reads 87. Is that core temps?? If so, I'm guessing that's high? Can't get through a full install of Win 7 before comp shuts down, powers back up, shuts down, powers back up, shuts down, and so on, until I just pull the plug.
