Infinite Boot after Fresh Install

[samueljerri]

Just built a new computer and used the SSD from an old build.

I installed Windows 7 and it worked great. When I first got into the desktop, the computer would auto turn off and do an infinite reboot after that.

I can't even get back into the desktop.

The computer reboots right after the POST screen.

Specs:

i5-4690k
Gigabyte z97x-Gaming 3
R9 290x
8GB HyperX RAM
AX760 PSU
240GB Seagate SSD.

I also tried installing Windows on an old HDD. It did the same thing.


Any help?

Does it blue screen?
Try booting with different ram. It's usually RAm problems

No blue screen. I see POST and then it restarts, infinitely.

I've tried reseating the RAM, but to no avail. I had the RAM tested before buying it from the store, so I know that's not it.

Try putting the ram to another ram slot.
Could also be problem with the processor

Like I've said, all the base components were tested at the store before buying. I'm certain the CPU is good.

I will try putting the RAM in the other slots.


Edit: Did not work. Still getting the same thing.



I don't know if this would help, but I used this SSD in a system beforehand that had a failed PSU. I had this same exact problem on the other PC as well. Maybe the drive is bad?

Maybe. Do you have a linux live cd by any chance?
TRy booting with that and see if anything is wrong
