PC reboot loop

Howdy, im having some problems with my computer. First off it is a custom built with an asrock mother board. I just recently installed a ATI6850 GPU. i did not have internet at that time so i installed the driver from the disk. This did not work for some reason so i waited till i had internet... I dont suspect a bad PSU since it is only a couple years old. It doesnt over heat or anything.

Now that i have the internet i went to install&update the GPU, my pc started up and than flashed a blue screen for a split second and rebooted. Than no matter if i try to start in safe mode, normal mode, or any other mode it just loads for a sec and reboots. Also sometimes it says something about checking hard disk consistency, than a new screen apears and it shows all this stuff is is checking in a list followed at the end by the percentage it has completed.

So basicaly i have no idea what to do. I checked the mechanics of my pc and everything is hooked up rite. I even removed the GPU and tried to start with the onboard gfx but that didnt work.

Any help is much appreciated
 
If its checking hard drive, then it seems you have errors on the drive. What brand of hard drive is it? You will need to download the drive makers disk diagnostic utility and run a scan on it.

Well if i do need to run a diagnostic check on it how do i do so if i can even do anything without it rebooting?

Go to the drive manufacturer website and download the ISO. Burn it to a CD and boot to that CD on the problem computer.
 
Howdy.. So i tried this and when i ran the test it returned a 007 error.. Which is a read element error.. So it said i could run a media check, or something like that to fix it. So i did and it took just over an hour to do. After that it said it had been fixed. It said than to hit ctrl alt del to reboot with fix so i did.

And it kept reboot looping so i went back in and did quick error check and came back with 007 again. Not too suprising to me becouse a reading element sounds like a mechanical problem to me.

If it isnt mechanical should i just "set drive to zero's"?
