Will I need to buy Windows again?

[keto]

Might want to start a new post, so people know it's not a Windows issue any more. State your hardware too, mobo/cpu/HDDs/Vid

So I have installed my new Motherboard,CPU and Ram. When ever I start the computer it gets to the desktop and then shuts off and restarts. If I load it in safe mode it will not do this. I tried to reinstall windows and it does the same thing as soon as it starts to load the screen goes black and everything starts again. I also thought it may be the new motherboards drivers first but it will not let me load them in safe mode and since it shuts down if it is not in safe mode I can not load the drivers. Anyone have any ideas? I took it all apart and hooked it back up but got the same results. I tried it with only 1 stick of ram same thing, as well I tried it with out the gpu and I checked the CPU temp in the bios and it was only in the 30's.

Here are the new items.

Sounds like a driver issue to me, did you uninstall all previous drivers and run CCleaner? Make sure everything is updated, including the mobo bios. Since it will start in safemode I'm thinking it is not a hardware issue.

[techman95]

one of those new parts might be bad

[JJThomp]

You probably didn't do a good job of getting rid of your old drivers. Hence why it actually starts in safemode. Just format your drive and do a fresh install of windows and download all current drivers.

[Mishtar]

But it will not allow me to install any of the drivers when in safe mode. The DVD spins but it keeps giving me an error and will not allow me to install anything off the disk. The install screen shows up but it will not install.

You could potentially have a bad stick of ram. Try running the system with one stick installed, and/or run some memtest.

What motherboard / cpu/ chipset were you using before this upgrade? What OS are you using? Does it work with the onboard video? Pull your video card and run 1 stick of ram.

You posted this in another thread (which I replied to) Please pick one or the other.

AHCI vice IDE mode settings in bios? Seems to me that windows installed under IDE mode will behave this way when the bios is set to AHCI.........
