Entry 00000110: 1 Down, 100's to go...

So in the spirit of my last post, I decided to stop wishing I could do things and started doing things.   The 1st thing I always wanted to do is build a PC.  So I have bought all the parts and have (in my opinion) successfully completed my first PC build.  Here is a list of the parts I have used:

- GA P55 SLI 132-LF-E655-KR LGA1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
- Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I7860
- XFX HD-555X-ZNF2 Radeon HD 5550 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL8D-4GBHK
- RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready -Modular LED Power Supply
- Lite-On iHAS124-04 CD/DVD Burner
- Windows 7 Home Edition
- XION II Black Pearl Mid Tower Full size Steel Chassis Case
- 1 x ASUS VH236H Black 23" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor

So, here's a couple of pics after the first start-up, which I might add, wentoff without a hitch.  We'll that would be a lie.  The PC keeps restarting at start-up and then is fine.  I'll have to research this issue further, but so far so good!

LMAO!!
What no 'flex capacitor'???
I think the re-starting is an error intrinsic to models assembled in the desert heat. You should use -80oC ice to keep it cool.
