Hello,
I've recently purchased and built my own PC, my first time doing so.
All the parts are brand new except for the power supply, which is about 3 months old.
CPU: Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W
Motherboard: ASRock P55 Extreme LGA 1156
RAM: G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W
Hardware wise, I think everything should be compatible.
Heres the catch, after finally building it, I power on. It starts up, all the fans start spinning, but after 3 seconds, the system reboots itself this cycle continues indefinitely. I don't know what could be wrong, something I did or maybe defective parts? Possibly a case of inadequate power supply?
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue for me, because it's quite frustrating.
Thank you all
