Ok so a couple of days ago i got all my parts and put them in, MB, CPU, RAM, Video, everything else in my signature was from my previous system.

What surprised me was that my old hard drives launched my OS with no issue, Video driver was the only thing that needed to be installed. So i said to myself wow cool, never had OS launch with a new system and everything.

I then go ahead and start to reinstall Vista to get a nice fresh start, and trouble begins. I first got a blue screen saying the windows disk is copy protected...dont know what that was about, so i took my HDD out and formatted it on another system thinking it was detecting older vista install...nope

When it begins to install the OS or rather when i press START to install the system shuts down completely, and then after 10 seconds or so it turns on again, turn off after 2 secs and just keeps on doing it....

What is going on? system was working stable when i was in my older installed OS and when i begin to install i get these issues....

Guys what are my options here? i checked and rechecked all my wires, took the memory out, took the heatsink off and replied the paste and etc....

Help me out please
 
Go through the basic troubleshooting guide and start from there.
 
ok well seems like the issue was solved, i disconnected the zalman fan controller and changed out my Sata connections and it seems to be working now. not exactly sure what the issue was, it seemed like something was shorting out the system when it was spinning at full load.
