Hi everyone.
Basically my computer just constantly reboots over and over and over again. These are new parts which I have installed which are the p8z68v and an i5 2500k and I'm yet to get it to work. Here is a video of what happens, the cables are everywhere but thats yet to get sorted out Reboot - YouTube
I took a photo of the pins after re seating the cpu and I dont think these look bent although I'm no expert.![]()
The parts are second hand because I was on a right budget and couldn't get them parts new anymore.
These are the full specs of the computer.
Xfx gtx 295
Intel i5 2500k
Asus p8z68 v
Corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7
Antec 900 case
OCZ gameXstream 850w psu
So here I start. Basically it turns on the dram light and cpu light turns on once and then turns off when the computer turns of. I read that they turn on when they are working correctly and then turn back of, and they flash when there is an issue, so my guess is it isn't that. Anyway then it turns off and turns back on and does this continuously.
I have tried resetting the CMOS also no change, tried different configuration of the TPU An EPU switches tried reconnecting every cable multiple times. Tried to place the gpu in a different slot and also tried it without a gpu.
Tried placing 1 ram stick in each slot an then trying to reboot also no luck.
I have tried to reposition the cpu by taking it all apart and replacing it. I looked to see if there is any bent pins which I cannot see even with a magnifying glass.
Also tried taking out the cmos battery and then putting it back in and then trying to boot and it still does exactly the same thing.
I'm not connecting my monitor etc etc although I don't think that will make the computer boot?
I didnt reformat the hdd before putting in the newer parts because I didnt think I would need to. I've literally tried everything so I'm thinking it is dodgy parts right now, although the sellers told me they took the parts out a couple of days before sending me it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank
Thanks
