intel i7 2600 restart windows 7
I recently purchased a new mother board with an Intel i7 2600 with 4Gb of RAM. After installing windows 7 x64 with the same CD and key that was installed on the computer before, the computer restarts. It won't boot all the way.
I decided to download a copy of windows 7 trial and installed. It boot all the way but when I put in the key, the computer keeps restarting. The key is a legit key and works on two other computers without problems.
I am able to load and run Ubuntu 11 just fine from a CD. I also ran memtest and the result is good RAM, both sticks. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I don't think its the version of Windows but I don't want to buy it again just to be sure...
Help is appreciated.
