Windows wont start...

[Habanerosky]

i recently put a new CPU in, and it seems like i did everything perfectly. I put on the thermal paste, i locked the hsf in well. Now whenever it gets past the windows loading screen, it restarts... ive check all my conections, but nothing works. Whats weird is that it worked at my friends house where i put the CPU in. Any ideas?

it could be overheating, i think someone had a similisr problem? i think monkeysims, are you positive the thermal paste is applied correct?

ok, so im actually writing this from my computer in networked safe-mode..
i'm assuming that there is a driver problem or something because the CPU is not overheating. there is an exclaimation point on somethign that says "PnP BIOS extension" whats that mean? any ideas? thanks

Why you dont check the power supply?
maybe you need buy stronger power suppy... l

QUESTIONS 101
Reset the BIOS and reboot it (you'll need to go into the BIOS and save the new settings after the reset).

I dont know what the problem was, but it couldnt have been the BIOS and is wasnt the power supply (550w Antec truepower II, pretty sure i dont need a better one.. ). I installed windows on another HDD and it works fine... its just irritating that i need to reistall all my programs and games.

Doesn't matter, you put in a new CPU, resetting the BIOS should have worked.
