OK, to start out, this is my first post in this forum, I've been building my own and friends computers (PC and Laptops) as well as a little programming for over 10 years now.
I just got back from Afghanistan and put together a new rig, It powers up and shuts down about 3-5 times every time I attempt to turn it on, When it does turn on and work, it works great, but 90% of the time it powers on multiple times and the mobo lights up an error light indicating there is a graphics card error (the graphics card is new as is this entire system), Other times it tells me a boot device has an error.
When I try to enter the bios it freezes, some time when I can enter the bios it will shut down when I try to change anything to do with overclocking, so as of yet it is still running stock.
Rig:
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V/Gen3
Processor: i5 2550K 3.4ghz
Graphics: Asus GeForce 560 Ti
Memory: 16gigs Corsair Dominator
SSD: 120Gig Corsair Force GT
HDD: 2TB WD
Water Cooling: Corsair H80
PSU: Corsair TX750
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
At this point I'm thinking it isn't an error, It's a bad Mother Board... What's your thoughts. I've completely broken the rig down and rebuilt it to make sure everything was connected right, looked through the manuals, nothing seems to help.
