Heey all,

I hope some of you can help me out with my problem. I will explain the situation.

I have bought myself a new mainbord (A7N8X-E Deluxe) for my computer.

After installing the mainbord and pluging in all the cables and processor and memory the computer is ready for use.

When i turn on the power it looks good until i get to the part where Windows usually will be loaded. ( where you see the windows logo for the first time )

My problem is that windows won't boot, and from there the computer restarts automatic.

When i am in the bios for a time the computer shuts down. This is the same if i want to reinstall windows. After loading installation the computer shuts down.

Can anybody help me?

What size of Power supply are you using? How many extras do you have running? IE: CD-R's DVD's Hard Drives etc.....You should have a MINIMUM of 300 watts.......

start unplugging hardware until the error disappears, if you can't then check bios settings again to see if the correct cpu clock is set and so on...

are u using a Windows XP Unattended CD?

here is a site i visited when i was hving problems with my P4C800 E Deluxe.

I hope if can be helpful

Well i have a 400 watt psu, so that won't be the problem.

My bios setting are correct, well atleast the cpu is correct, it is a 2800+ and that is found correct.

Get rid of all the other components. Leave only the AGP card, CPU, RAM on the board. Then swap the PSU and CPU to see if the problem repeats itself. Also try looking on ASUS's website for BIOS update logs.

Looks like the board is a high-end board with thousands of built-in controllers. Try turning these off from BIOS.
