I haven't turned on the computer for about 2 days. It was working well before.

I then turned on the computer, but then later when loading vista, it froze. So I turned the computer off.

Now when I try pressing the power button, the computer starts, then later turns off itself, then later turns on itself, then later turns off itself, and etc. This will continue forever I think. What seems to be the problem? I tried limiting to only the motherboard, cpu, psu, and no ram. Still the same problem. Could it be the motherboard and cpu? How do I fix it?

Thanks

Edit: I tried changing PSU, still same problem. So I am down to either motherboard or cpu. I tried clearing the cmos too with the jumpers and removing the battery.

Specs:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
Q6600
OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 1GB x 2
Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620W
EVGA 8800GT SC 512mb
 
Your computer wouldn't do anything without the RAM so I suggest you check each stick indervidually then blame the mobo.
 
After some research, I have heard many people have the same problem.

It seems to be the timing of the memory and I need to reset the bios and cmos settings. But I tried doing it and still does that.
 
Before resetting the CMOS, unplug the PSU from the wall or switch it off.
I found the CMOS wouldnt reset on my Sisters IP35-E if the PSU had power.

I am thinking it is memory problem.

people seem to be in to big of a rush to replace parts without doing any real test.i am not dogging you just making a general statement.test memory with memtest and other components that can be found in there forms.i am just trying to save you money and the headaches that go with this ie shipping costs use of gas going back and forth to repair shop ect.merry christmas peace

Well, I have other computers with ddr2 ram...
 
I tested it with another ddr2 ram, still doesn't work.

So I am down to motherboard and/or cpu.

Anyone know another way to fi this?
 
I would almose certianly guess mobo. Have you tried it outside of the case?
 
can you get inti the bios and look around?see if hw monitor can tell you anything.

Can not go into the bios.

I tried removing my CPU heatsink and check the cpu, it looks fine. I am guessing it is the motherboard's fault. I think I am gonna RMA it! My Christmas is ruined. :mad:

I heard Gigabyte's RMA is pretty bad. I am in Canada so I have to do an online one. grrr...

Thanks for the help so far.

Nenu: :D Wrote it because I saw Kellie Pickler on Youtube :p

But got it sorted myself. It was because the CPU wasn't seated probaly. Took it out and put it back in again and it worked :)
