Windows 7 Restarts Computer During Last Steps
I have recently upgraded my computer with a new Mother Board, CPU and RAM. Upon successfully installing all 3 components I booted my PC. Firstly, everything was going well, it loaded in Windows 7 like always and I then successfully installed the new mother boards drivers with no errors. At the end of the installation it advised me to restart, I did & then because I wanted to try my new setup I booted on of my most demanding games (BFBC2). After playing the game for 4 hours I decided to go to bed. I woke up in the morning booted my PC only to find that once it got to the "Windows 7 Loading Logo" the computer would reboot.
My first thought was, oh just a one off reboot. As the computer rebooted itself again, the same thing happened. The instant it got to the Windows 7 Loading logo it reboots. My first thought was the OS, so I put in my Windows 7 disc, booted off the disc, deleted both my partitions on both my hard drives and reformatted. This is where my problems began to worry me. The first stage of the installation "Copying Files" It goes from 1 - 100% in less than a second, instantly goes to the 2nd installation. It continues through all of the installation smoothly. Once it gets to the phase at which it needs to restart the computer it does. Then it boots normal...load's Windows 7..the logo comes up and under it reads "Setting up Registry Settings"
Then *REBOOT*, I'm tried Windows XP & Windows 7 on both Hard Drives. To no avail.
I've even had my computer IMPOUNDED as such at my local computer shop (the same place I bought the components) and they did find a fault on my Mother board and gave me a new one. I brought the new one home and the same things kept happening. I've tried the whole "replace DVI cable with VGA" to no avail. I've tried booting in Safe Mode but that's impossible now as both Hard Drives are empty.
I've actually completely and utterly run out of options. This forum is my only chance.
Cheers,
Chris.
