Question Somebody PLZ help me!!!!!

Ok , I really dont know what is wrong with my computer...

About two weeks ago, my monitor stopped responding to my computer... this is after i got a water cooling system for my processor... well after the monitor stopped working, i sent in the motherboard and video card back to manufacture and got a brand new vid. card and mobo. i pluged in all the parts and rebooted, but this time the computer restarts constantly... over and over and over w/o me doing anything? If i let it sit.... it keeps restarting and sometimes gets to install windows screen but then it restarts again( i am tring to reinstall windows because i got new mobo and vid card)

i have tried everything possible to test this computer..... i put less strain on power supply(only plugged in what i needed) but i doubt it is the power supply because it is a 500w one. I tried to see if it was my hard drive... but that wasnt it because it shows up on another computer.... then tested my cd drives by unplugging them but still didnt work..... i tried to move the memory from one slot to the other but that did not work...

Just this afternoon windows loaded up... then started to reboot once again?
It get to the bios fine... after that it keeps restarting over over and over agin? WHY?

Windows xp home
pentium d processor
1 gb ddr2
256 ddr3 vid card

somebody help me

Why the heck did you bother installing a water cooling system for a Pentium D?? Your problem could be anything, you aren't really giving any information. Give us model numbers, etc.

Could be that the new parts are faulty?

Constant rebooting could be do to overheating. Id suggest going into your bios and checking your system temperatures and cpu. Post back with that info.
If your temps are too hot, your cooling may not be working or installed properly.

No, you do not need memtest, but I doubt you could run it if the computer restarts constantly.
Anyway, give it a go:
