    Assembling a rig for a friend; after troubleshooting various hardware problems, got it to correctly display video and recognize all the hardware.

    Hardware:
    Intel BOXDP965LTCK Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Mobo
    eVGA 256-P2-N583-AR Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
    HIPRO HP-P600W/TOP-600P5 ATX V2.01 600W Power Supply - OEM
    Pentium D 940 Presler 800MHz FSB LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor
    SAMSUNG T133 Series HD300LJ 300GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
    KByte 1GB DDR2 4200/3200 PC2-533/400 RAM

    My trouble starts when I try to install windows. I boot the disc, go to install it (the point where it says 'press enter to continue' right before it checks the drives and whatnot), press enter, and without fail the system reboots. I am thoroughly confused and cannot find any help via google; time to ask the pros (intel's support system is GARBAGE). I have tried installing SATA drivers by pressing f6 and not; both circumstances lead to a reboot. i am confused. any help would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated

    What's curious is that if i change the plug setup (make the 24-pin thing 20 pin) it gets slightly further in installation then fucks up again. I have replaced the PSU and it does the same thing, leading me to believe it is some config issue, the mobo, processor or HDD. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I am at my wit's end. thanks for any help.

    First of all, remove all the Cards and put them back.
    If that doesnt solve your problem then do a [link=http://memtest86.com]Memory Test V3.2[/link] over whole night and see if your computer comes out with errors...
