PC reboot continuously

[mozart1668]

hello i've a vx pro+ chipset motherboard PC with p1mmx 200.


when the pc is turned on, just after the memory test OK, the pc reboot continuously what ca the problem be . thanks for all

Windows version?

Have you tried pressing F8 to enter Safe Mode?

[ichorid]

just after mem test is when it searches for hdds + cdds

go into bios (if u can)
reconfigure hdds (set to to autodetect if pos.)
try again

if no bios tweaks affect it, remove drives till it works


ps it might be a psu problem, as the drives spin up and demand more power.
if u have an unbranded or <300W psu try a different one for testing

also, with a pc that old, its probably not worth spending money to fix it.:rolleyes:

just buy a cheap socketA board, an xp1800+, and a new hdd +cdd ~=~ $300 - - not much;)

There are people who have to live on $300 per month. Plenty.

So ... first of all go into BIOS, do a "Load Optimal Defaults". See whether that cures it.

Otherwise, try if it still does that without any drives attached, and without any unnecessary cards in.
Then start reattaching stuff one by one and see which one does it.

Also, check heat related problems. Try Motherboard Monitor and see what the temps are.

if all that doest work check to make sure the voltage on the back of the power supply is set correctly :p , I had the same problem before thats how i solved it after many many headaches and headbashes

Yeah, if it's set to 220 volts and you're running it off 110 your 5v rail can be 3v. Crazy. :x
