buddy putting together a s system, specs:

OCZ game extreme 600Watt PWS
asus p5b DLX/wifi edition
intel core 2 duo e6700
2 * 1028 meg sticks of crucial ram
seagate HDD 500 gigs (sata)
EVGA 7900GTO

New hardware install. it let me past the post once, everytime after that it immediately reboots right after the post.

reset defaults, cleared cmos, tried 1 stick of ram in diff sockets, bought new MLB (same model), tried cheap DDR2 ram from work, disconnect HDD, disconnect DVD (when both are disconnected I get the prompt to install bootable media then hit a key). Oh and from the bios I can browse the contents of the HDD.

the crazy thing is when I flashed the bios to the latest version I got past that point, but right after it rebooted I got stuck witht he saqme shitty deal, immediate reboot right after the post completes

ideas?
 
are the motherboard mounts in the correct places on the case? perhaps this isnt likely, but this happened to me. the mount was touching the wrong place on the mobo and caused it to short out, causing reboots until the mobo fried.
 
yea, check about shorts, happened to me also. once i figured out what the problem was, it booted right up.
 
still have not heard about browsing HDD via BIOS. thats actually very important because if he is then hes not in the bios and it will help determine the issue if we actually know where in his bootup cycle he gets.
