Hi all,
Ive just finished building a new PC. This is the first PC Ive ever built from scratch myself and this evening is the first time Ive tried booting it up.
I connected everything up according to the manual. I switched it on and it booted up, I put the Vista disc in and it started to copy files across nicely. All of a sudden the power just totally dropped out completley. Then about 2 seconds later the PC started back up again but the lights were flickering. I switched it off at the back and unplugged it for a few seconds then tried again. This time once again it booted up fine, straight to the disc and copied the files across then a new style (Vista) progress bar appeared and started to move. Then again the power dropped out for a second or two then it tried to boot up again. At this point I decided to stop.
Seems like a PSU issue to me or something that Im overlooking???? The PSU was brand new (X-Power 700W).
Does anyone know of anything off the top of their heads that may cause this???
My motherboard is Giga-Byte GA-965P-DS4, processor C2D E6700.
Please help.....
