i've been having a problem with loading up windows 7, my pc was rebooting during the startup of my pc.
so i've formatted my hd and relaoded windows but the same happened
i'm thinking there something wrong with my hd
so i'm looking at getting a ssid just for windows.
any advice?
Do you have any removable usb devices, flash drives, bluetooth or wireless dongles etc? These can cause a system to not get passed bios. Does it come up with any error messages? Try testing your hard drive for errors. I have a simlular issue, if i leave my bluetooth dongle the system will not boot (teaches me for buying beklin).
Can you boot into Safe Mode?
nope only usb keyboard and mouse, seems to be when i've just put the pc on first time in a day once its warmed up it seems fine,
Thats very odd, maybe you need to re-thermal paste your cpu.
had a bsod this morning and it did a minidump, i'm hoping its not my mb and just something simple like my harddrive having problems?
If the PC is rebooting when cold on startup and is fine when warm my fave candidate would be the PSU. Problem is of course that theres a few things that it could be, harddrive, mobo,ram,Cpu,Gpu, its normally a
process of elimination to find the fault and there is no easy way to do this.
Re-seat the easiest stuff first like the RAM (take out the ram fully and put back in again making sure its seated correctly) followed by PCIE cards (including GFX), check all connections to SATA devices then finally re-seat the CPU as that's normally a bitch and requires more thermal paste.
Hopefully you wont get as far as the CPU :thumbsup2: if you try a reboot after each category.
DZ.
thx guys i'll sort it thx for your advice
