Tried running the BIOS in default mode but still same issue. Have the CPU and Mem speed set to auto. Will try changing that now and see if it makes any difference.

Can't seem to make any progress at all. Tried to boot with just the Win 7 Drive connected and it comes up "system boot failure insert system disc and click enter". I insert the Win 7 Disc and it loads windows files then reboots. Did this several times before eventually loading the disc. Tried repairing but still same fault.

Machine powers up, runs through startup procedure. starts loading windows and just before it comes up with the Logon screen - Reboot. Same with safe mode. Has me stummped. Can only access safe mofe in Win XP.

Gonna give up before I spend the whole weekend pulling my hair out trying to firgure it out. Will wait for the new CPU next week then investigate further. Thanks for all the helpful surgestions so far and if anyone has any ideas feel free to post on. Thank you.
