first of all my problem was i set it all up , Put my card in , HDD ,Proccessor, PSu ..etc..

when i turned it on it restarted after 2-3 secounds with no sound or any thing . odd.

So i thought ok somthing is wrong ...

what i done was started removing things like.. my graphics card etcc. untill i found out the the PSU connector (ATX 4 12v ) was maing it restart .. so i was just wondering is there any other ways to0 make it boot with out or any other solution?/

Thanks for reading if u need more info just ask and ill provide ,,

Once again thanks ,

Peace out

reece10,
With this computer I will try to help you out since i am new to the forums myself. Follow these steps as I myself have came across this problem. I will try to put it as simple as I can for you. You will have to do this procedure fast so familiarize yourself with it and instantly begin the process once windows boots up. It might take you a couple of tries.

Right click on "My Computer"
Select "Properties"
Click on the "Advanced" tab
Under start-up and recovery click "Settings"
Under system failure take the "check mark" out of automatically restart
Click ok

This should stop the computer from rebooting every few seconds. This is when your computer comes across a simple error or hiccup it will automatically reboot your computer everytime. Hopefully this will solve your issue.

Also look at your ram. Make sure that you use the same type and speed ram in pairs.
Mixing ram will or can cause an error code that will trigger a restart.

There you are bang on target, the RAM does work on a specific frequency and if you have more than one RAM you should ensure that the frequencies of all the RAM you have should be same. If this is not the case there will be fluctuation in the working of the RAM and would result into repeatedly restarting of the computer.
