why does my computer keep shutting off during start-up?
i just got ;
eVGA X58 SLI3 – Motherboard – ATX – LGA1366 Socket
brand new. CPU is Intel® Core™ i7-900 processor series, I switched it in from my old motherboard. has a new DVD Drive. RAM, Video Card, and HDD is from the old. I put in the windows disc to start everything fresh, i don’t care if everything is lost I just want it to work.
Sometimes it gets to the Manufacturer Screen, then it shuts down. Sometimes it gets to the Windows screen, then it shuts down. Sometimes it even restarts itself to boot up again. And sometimes it doesn’t even make it to the Manufacturer Screen. But, it Beeps once every time it starts up.
And when I do put in the Windows Disc it doesn’t read the disc because it keeps going to the setting of my HDD that is on there.
I tried putting in the Motherboard Disc in, I tried putting in the Windows Disc, no dice. The basterd will run/boot up/load from 5secs-30secs until it shuts down into Idle/stand by.
This happend with my old motherboard, thinking I should get a new one..until it wouldn’t start up anymore. now it’s happening with the new one.
What is the problem and solution please?
Again I would like to thank everyone for helping me out, sending me links on detailed information. Very much appreciated. Now I have another problem…the sound card, but that will be in a whole different thread. Again thank you very much.
