Restart loop - My computer restarts itself after about 3 seconds with no visual displayed.
A few weeks ago my computer starting doing the restart loop. I reseated the RAM, but that didn't help. I realized that I OCed my GPU, so I removed the GPU and the computer started up. I removed the OC software and readded the GPU and the computer worked fine for 2 weeks.
Today my computer froze with no programs open, I restarted and I got the restart loop again! I removed the GPU and it worked after looping only once. So I put the GPU back in and it worked, then restarted itself while in Windows (only a few seconds into being in Windows). I removed it a second time and now I get the restart loop without the GPU.
I did not overclock again after the first incident. I did not do anything new in the last couple days to warrant this.
What exactly is the problem and how do I fix it?
