Hard time getting computer to load.

I have followed all the information that i can find on here, and the problem that I am still having is that... I can get my computer to load, can access the BIOS screen. All my drives and memory are being picked up so... when I get to where the windows screen should be my computer restarts, Any ideas???


System:
Mobo: XFX nForce 790i ultra
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
RAM: 4g DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)

Try to boot with just one stick of ram, and just the main hard drive.

Disconnect all other drives, and all peripherals.

See if that helps.

I would download the hard drive diagnostics for your drive.

What hard drive do you have?

What power supply?

Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
That is the HD, the Power supply in an Antec true blue 750w I believe.

I also just hooked up and old IDE HD that I windows ME on and got the system to load... So at this point it's looks like my current drive, just not sure what my options are.

You are either going to have to do a repair install or install a new version of windows, all your hardware is working fine. When you make large changes to your hardware, windows doesn't work anymore.
