Ordered components last week from Newegg and finally got most of them together this evening, however, everytime the computer calls for a reboot/restart, the monitor goes blank and the computer seems to freeze. Powering down manually and restarting fixes the problem.

No components are OC'd yet and Windows is installed correctly and seems to be running normally. Using a single hard drive until stability is assured, then will RAID. Is there a cable or setting that I may need to double check?

Thanks!
