Hello everybody,
I have just assembled a new computer and used DX79SI and a 3930K processor, with 32GB Patriot 1333 memory and a GTX680 video card. All seemed fine until I have tried to install Windows 7. The installation loads the first screen until the end of the bar and when it goes to the next screen it shows the image and 1 second after it the system restarts. It has happened with any OS I have tried from XP to Win7, Vista, even SuSE or Ubuntu, it starts the installation and suddenly rests. I am using a Corsair H100 cooler, a Seventeam ST-550P-AG power supply and a Crucial SSD too. Have tried with an old video card 9600 and it acts the same way. Have looked for something in the Internet but nothing really like what is happening here with my new system. I have discovered that the HOT CPU led blinks red at the moment the system restarts but checking the processor temperature right after the rebook it shows the same 49 celsius that is it showing when the system is on setup fan monitoring screen. What is strange is that the fan RPM is almos all the time in 2133 RPM no matter how much noise you can hear from the cooling system, loud or low.
Someone has an idea of what could be going on? I have tried removing memory sticks and tried with 1, 2 and 4 and same happens. Power supply too weak? I can let the system on setup screen and it stays there working fine.
Thanks,
Sergio
