Hi, I just built a new rig. Every time I turn it on, it gets into this loop where it automatically reboots every 5 seconds. The only way to shut it down from there is to manually pull the plug or hold down the power button while it's on within those 5 seconds.
It doesn't even get far enough into booting for me to enter BIOS or anything. However, upon 1st power-up, I did see a glimpse of the Radeon title screen just before it shut off, but now I don't get any video whatsoever since then.
I tried resetting CMOS, re-seating CPU and RAM, and even un-plugged devices like my HDs and floppy... all to no avail. I just cant seem to figure it out.
Does this sound like a PSU problem? The PSU has a 5.25 control faceplate but I didn't hook it up. I just want to use the PSU allocating the standard voltages to all the components, so there's no need for a controller to up any voltages (no overclocking on this rig). Could it be a problem that I didn't install this controller regardless?
Based on the hardware listed in the system specs below, does there appear to be any 2 items that may have a history of conflicting with each other or creating these types of problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the system specs:
LGA775 P4 550 3.4Ghz
ABIT AG8 I915P Mobo (both PCI and PCIExpress)
1GB (2x512MB) Mushkin Hi Perf LII v2 PC3200 RAM
2 WD Raptor 74GB (10k RPM) HDs
NEC 1.44 Floppy
Asus 16x DVD-ROM
NEC Double Layer DVDRW
Antec 550W (True Control) PSU w/ 5.25 Control Panel
ATI Radeon x700 Pro (PCIx)
