New PC, Restarts itself every time when loading windows!

[MiloSx7]

Hello!

Today i bought some new components for my old PC:

New parts:
RAM: Kingston HyperX blu 4GB DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9
CPU: Intel Celeron G1820, Dual-Core 2,70GHz
MOBO: Asus H81M-K

Old Parts that I won't change:
HDD: Seagate 500GB
PSU: JNC ATX-500W-P4

I had Windows XP installed on my Hard Drive, and as soon as i put everything together, and powered up my "new" PC, everything went well, untill it suddenly restarted 2 seconds after beginning to load Windows. I tried again, and again, with no hope.
I tought that my MOBO can work with Windows 7 / 8 only, so i put my old parts back and installed Windows 7 on my HDD. Again with no luck, it just keeps restarting right after it starts loading Windows.

My HDD is working fine. I tried every SATA cable i had (3 of them) on my new MOBO but problem still persist, while every 3 of them work fine on my older MOBO.
My PSU is also working fine, since i had no problems with my older components.
Could Processor cause this? Maybe i didn't put it into my MOBO correctly? Although i followed instructions and it fit nicely into my MOBO.
Or my MOBO might be damaged?

My older parts:
MOBO: Asus A8V-VM-SE
CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.2GHz
RAM: Unknown Manufacturer, 1GB DDR, 200MHz

I really don't know what could be causing this problem, and i need answers as soon as possible! Please help me solve this, it's so frustrating i spent a lot of money on this!

Thanks!

I'm confused. You say you installed Windows 7 onto your computer using your old AMD gear? Because I do think by default Window 7 has those drivers and will install them at the time you install your OS. And then you switch completely to a Intel based machine, and normally those drivers are not compatible. Try booting Windows 7 into safe mode (F8 on bootup). See if that works. If it does, you know it's not hardware related. Also, when you install Windows 7 with your Intel gear (assuming your problem isn't hardware based) please set your hard drive to ACHI mode, not IDE mode in the BIOS. It'll speed things up.

Good Luck.

Thanks for your fast answer, nosupport4u!

I will try everything you mentioned and come back soon to tell you if any of these solved my problem.

Ok going into safe mode doesn't seem to solve this problem. All i know is that it starts loading some files, stops at class pnp something like that, and restarts.

I will try and install a fresh copy of windows while using the new processor and mobo and see if that solves my problem, i guess it will because your answer makes more sense than just thinking my mobo is damaged.

Yeah, normally speaking jumping from AMD to Intel requires a fresh install. You can't just pop in your new bits and expect it to work right away. When I was starting with Windows (jeez it seems so long ago now) I did the same rookie move. If your HDD controller/ Sata controller was defective it wouldn't even try to load the OS or even see the HDD. So yeah, give a fresh install a try and report back.

Good Luck.

Hello, and once again thank you for your time!

It works! I installed Windows 7 via USB drive (i have no optical drive) and it works.
The only problem I have now is that when i put my GPU: Ati Radeon X1950 XT I get error saying, written in red, that my Power supply isn't connected to my GPU, even if it is! Same error goes on my old MOBO, and it worked just perfectly fine yesterday.
It was about 6 months ago when I bought 8 pin cable (because they didn't had 6pin) and cut the ends, removed isolation and attached the cables manually. I did this once again today, with no luck. Maybe i did something wrong? Maybe the cable just died? Should i go and search for 6pin cable?
Also i installed 64bit version of Windows. Does my new rig support that, I am not really sure, but everything works fine for now.

Also, why is only 3.70GB usable of my RAM? I know that 300MB isn't much but still..

You should use a 64 bit OS. Your system easily can support that. As for your graphics card issue, you should make a separate thread about that. Glad the install worked though! Seems like mission accomplished on that front. Your only seeing 3.6 ish available because technically speaking a 32 bit OS can't address over that amount. To get the most of your rig, and of your RAM, use 64-bit.

Thanks. But.. I am already using 64bit OS.. ._.
I will make a serperate thread for my GPU, thanks again, you saved my life man!
