| kick it.
mine was doing this before turned out to be the HDD, any kind of flash drive or an iphone/ipod or external HDD can cause a random gay ass boot clash so just d/c anything attached.
if nothing is attached
kick it. |

| hmm tried kicking it, then restarting it. disconnected every external item tried kicking it again. restarted let it stay like that for 3 mins then it went to the user screen. froze there, went black screen then it just restarted, gigabyte screen for another 3 mins to show up again and now it keeps doing it in a cycle. |

| cmos chip seems fucked. try opening bios and resetting, or replace the CMOS battery on the mobo, looks like the flat battery in watches |

kick it. sounds like Quack's advice.. yeah, if my ipod is connected to my comp, my computer wont load past checking the RAM. so i gotta unplug it before i boot up / reset. |

| If replacing the cmos doesn't work, i think on the back of the x58 boards is a cmos button which allows you to reset it, try using that if all else fails... did your sis update the bios or anything? because that will fuck the pc up and will not allow it to boot.. which seems like whats going on. |
