Greetings. I finally finished my I7 system and now i'm transferring my Maximus Formula w/Q6600 into another case. Put everything together and now the computer tries to start for about 5 seconds and stops and then it keeps trying after another 5 seconds and on and on and on. I'm not getting any beeps just a automatic re-start of the system on it's own.

Where should I begin? Thanks.

Check memory installation, seating of cards in slots, and if still no luck, try a CMOS reset.

Ok now I can get it to the bios screen. There was a HD Audio cable that I mistakenly plugged in which was causing the 5 second restarts. But now the system is stating that it doesn't recognize any drives. I have a floppy and a CD/DVD drive installed. Any suggestions on where to start? Thanks.

Finally sorted everything out. Windows XP Pro has been installed now i'm going thru the installation of the ASUS MB drivers and other components. Thanks.
