Computer restarting, when booting vista...

[lobsta]

I recently bought the parts for a new computer and assembled it my self, which is the first time i've ever put together a computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mobo: Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe (Socket AM2)

 

 

 

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.60GHz

 

 

 

PSU: OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply

 

 

 

RAM: GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

 

 

 

GFX: BFG 7600GT

 

 

 

HDD: WD 500GB

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a few teething problems getting the computer up and running, I finally managed it. I began to install VISTA Ultimate OEM and every thing seemed fine. However, when the little cursor appears, (just before the desktop is loaded/visible), my computer keeps restarting. I've tried booting up in safe mode but to no avail. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any help would be very much appreciated!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Did your computer work with these parts before installing VISTA?

Have you checked to make sure you are not overheating?

It's a new computer that I have only just assembled. So I was trying to install a new operating system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I have not checked if its overheating - i wouldnt know how.

Just feel the computer as it starts up. If it seems a little too hot then that's the case.
