I still haven't been able to get my new system running. I have eliminated everything except for the processor. The computer turns on, I can go into the bios and stuff but as soon as it trys to load windows right where the windows logo would show up the computer reboots. I have tried 3 kinds of ram of different manufacturers and speeds, PCI-E video card and onboard video, 3 motherboards, and 2 hard drives that both load windows fine on my other computer and they all have had the same problem. I have a great power supply and the temps aren't getting hot so could it be a bad processor or something with it being dual core? Its a used D805 that I bought until my E6600 gets here.
 
If the computer boots, the processor is fine. It it fry's then it won't boot, or show anything. The screen will blank out. They either work, or don't.

About your problem, have you ever had the computer boot into Windows? Or did you get to a certain area or install a soundcard or drivers that haulted the load up? Usually IRQ or soundcard drivers like on an Soundblaster will get screwy especially when they are in the wrong PCI slot.

A little more information would very helpful. Such as system specs.
 
This specific new computer would never boot windows. I figured the processor was fine so I tried the only other thing I could think of and installed windows on another hard drive and now it works.
