I just purchased a Mobo Combo w. a new graphics card and power supply.
Asus A8N-E
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 512K 90nm Rev. E Venice
RAM - DDR (400) 3200 - 1 GB (2 pcs 512) OCZ
ATI (Connect3D) Radeon X800 XL 256MB DDR/PCI-E/TV-Out/VGA/DVI
OCZ OCZ45012U ModStream ATX 2.0 450W Power Supply
I installed all the parts into my case and attached my two HDD's and two DVD's. I booted up and passed the BIOS screens with no error messages. Then windows starts to load and just before I get the logo, the PC reboots. Again, no error messages just rebooting. I tried safe mode and I get through a bunch of drivers and then a reboot.
So I pulled the second IDE cable and rebooted. No difference. What should I do next? Does the Connect 3D require a power connection to the PSU? I couldn't find any connections at all and assume it doesn't but the paperwork seemed to indicate that the card would need additional power.
One other thing, I connected the 24 Pin EATX cable but the manuals seemed conflicted one area is says a 20-pin power cable and in another it mentioned a 24-pin cable. Did I do something wrong there?
Any advice?
