Hello! A friend of mine gave me an old Pc that he had laying around, the specs are:
MB: Asrock 775i65G
CPU: Pentium D 805
RAM: 512MB DDR400
HDD: 80GB SATA
So.. What's the problem? I don't know.. The motherboard POST fine, I can access the BIOS and change things and all that stuff perfectly, but whenever I want it to boot an OS.. I just resets! It stops giving video signal for a sec and then it starts again, like if I pressed the RESET switch (Note: I don't have a reset switch connected). I tried everything, booting from USB, it resets; booting from IDE/SATA DVD Drive, it resets; booting from SATA/IDE HDD; it resets; I tried booting with Windows Installers, Windows To Go thingies and Linux Live CD's; it resets.. I even tried flashing it with the latest BIOS avaliable for it, and it keeps doing it! (Note 2: The BIOS flash was successful)
I don't know that to do.. maybe this motherboard is just broken?? Because I tried different CPUs, different PSUs, different RAM modules.. etc..
Thanks in advance for your help!
