    Hi Beckyj636,


    How old is the computer? It is 1 1/2 years old

    Approx when was it custom built? What do you mean by the custom splash screen the shop put on it?

    Gigabyte has software the builders can replace the factory splash screen you see when turning on computers.

    If you disconnect all HD's can you boot any other bootable CD/DVD program and see if the computer shuts down shortly or doesn't ?
    I did and Yes I booted from DVD

    Turn the computer off and disconnect the 2 wires to the second hard drive and turn it back on and see if it works OK. If it does not, disconnect the Windows drive and install Windows on the other drive, change the boot priorities in bios and see if it boots.

    No it still gets to "starting Windows" them the problem starts.

    Since you reset bios, make sure the ram voltage, timings and frequency is correct in bios. If you don't know, it is written on a sticker on the side of the ram sticks. If it boots either way, run checkdisk on the hard drive.Disk Check use option 1 and check both boxes. It will take several hours, depending on the drive.
    All were and still at Factory. No over clocking going on.

    Remember I can not get Windows to start, It just says "Starting Windows" then shuts down and like 5 seconds later pc just restart's on its own gets to "starting windows " and shuts down.

    The results are the same even on the other drive I tried to install winds to. It get to starting windows and the reboots on its own. New to actually load windows.

    do you think it will help if you see bios pics?

    Becky, I wasn't suggesting you are overclocking, but the ram needs to be set at what the manufacturer of the ram made it to run at. Setting defaults in bios does not always do that.

    Try running startup repair Startup Repair with just the windows drive attached. Run it at least 3 times with attempted reboots between each time.

    Lets see Bios pics, but I got my gut feeling it is NOT a bios problem. Is this an original win7 MS DVD or a downloaded burned to DVD version ?

    Ok I will attempt the start up repair.

    Question.. as I mentioned I did reinstall windows 7 to a different drive (to see if the original drive was bad) But the results are the same.. I see Starting windows and them it shuts down, restarts and it repeats again. Starting windows and shuts down.

    I ran system repair 4 times , it claims things are good on the hard drive. With the original install.

    I am in the process of creating a bookable flash drive with windows 7 on it.

    Ok after talking to someone at the store where this was built, They said Power supply,Hard drives,memory were ok.

    I cant be the processor. It has to be the motherboard....(there works)


    Is there any test/software that can test it. I don't believe Burnintest V7 tests motherboard.

    I know that the pc does testing during POST, But not sure if i belive it test everything on the board.
