I just started on my new build(first) and I've got all the basic parts in the case. It powers on just fine and notices the CPU and HDD and all. I went into CMOS and set the DVD-R drive as the primary boot drive in order to install Windows on the HDD.
I got to the point where Windows was formatting the HDD so it could install and I went to get something to eat. I came back about 10 minutes after it started and my computer was off. I turned it back on to see if I could install Windows thinking after it formatted the HDD, it shut down. But it will get to the point where it says, "Press F1 to continue, Press Del to enter CMOS setup" and I'll press either one and it'll turn back off.
I did get back into CMOS setup twice, the first time I set the boot order to the HDD first to see what would happen. It shut off again like before, so then I set it back to my DVD-R drive with the Windows CD in it and it shut off again.
The last time I turned it on and right after it says to press F1 or Del, it said something along the lines of " Warning! Enter CMOS and Reset CPU Cache or memory timings." I can't remember what it said exactly, but it was close to that. I did set the Ram timings to 4-4-4-12 since that's their timings and the Bios had it set at 5-5-5-18. Do I need to reset that or what? I didn't mess with the CPU Cache.
Can someone help me? I have no clue what to do. It did BSOD on me 2 times, but that was before I eventually got Windows to start formatting my HDD, so I don't think it'll happen again.
My setup is:
nForce 680i SLI mobo
OCZ GameXStream 700 Watt PSU
Core 2 Duo E6600
nVidia 7950 GT KO Superclocked
Philips DL DVD Burner
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache
