    2nd motherboard failure?

    I believe I've just had a 2nd motherboard failure in the 3 weeks that I've had my new computer. Both times they failed after I tried to restart my pc after it had been running for awhile. Basically, all it will do is boot for 5-20 seconds, and then reboot over and over until I unplug it. It gets stuck at the Gigabyte screen, if it makes it that far. This time around I can at least get a POST error beep if I remove my ram. The only thing I've done so far is remove CMOS battery and reset the BIOS via jumper. This is probably the 10th or so PC I've built over the years and I've never had problems like this.

    Here's my specs:

    I7 2700k
    Gigabyte Z68X UD3H-B3
    8gb Gskill ram
    750gb Caviar Black
    EVGA NVidia 570GTX
    Corsair TX650 PSU
    Thermaltake Frio cooler with 1 fan currently installed.

    Try using a different psu,gpu,ram,cpu.

    I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Lot of things that could be wrong.

    Try running with one RAM stick at a time and in different slots. Should rule out (or in) some problems with RAM or motherboard.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.
