Bootup problems
Hi everyone. So I just picked up a new motherboard (ASRock K10N78D) installed windows 7 x64 and it all worked fine. Now I was getting everything setup and rebooted and it gets stuck on the windows loading screen. So I tried reinstalling windows 7 x64 like a billion different ways and still no go. But now I get all the way to the "Setup is running Windows for the first time" screen then about 4 seconds into it, it reboots my computer completely then continues in an infinite loop. Like I said it worked good for about 1hr but after rebooting, nothing.
Ive tried
Shorting CMOS jumper.
Removing the CMOS battery.
flashing to every other bios available.
booting in safe mode (but errors saying windows first time setup needs to run out of safe mode)
Swapping around my 2x2GB modules to see if memory is dead.
I installed a new main IDE hard drive, I even tried changing the IDE cable.
I tried unplugging all the unneeded components.
I tried removing the disc when I boot into the part where it reboots.
I also have the fourth unlocked but tried disabling it, but no difference.
