Answer» I just decided to redo my computer and bought all new but my Hd ,DVD drive and soundcard and now since I have put it all together I have problems getting it to start up and when it does it goes for so long and then will restart at random..I have double checked all my connections and made sure everything is seated well and in right slots and now am at wits end...any ideas on what to look at or what I may have done wrong..
