Computer Keeps Restarting at Startup: Intel Core i5-2500K, MSI P67A-GD55, 2x Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC

Why does my computer power on for a few seconds and then keep restarting during startup, and what should I check first?

A startup restart loop is usually caused by a power, connection, RAM, or cooling problem, so first check the PSU, motherboard capacitors, CPU socket pins, and all power plugs, then try booting with only one RAM stick and the minimum hardware outside the case [#10555106][#10555245][#10555476] If the system still does it, test with the board on the table instead of in the case to rule out a short or mounting issue [#10555106] Since the computer ran longer when placed horizontally, the CPU cooler may be the culprit, so remove the heatsink, clean the processor and cooler from old paste, apply new thermal paste, and reinstall it carefully [#10555564][#10556182] If you have a spare power supply, swapping it in is also recommended to rule out a PSU fault [#10555245]

    Hello, I have a problem with my scrap:
    When I press the power button, the computer boots up and after a few seconds it goes off and then again and again all the time. Previously, as it happened, I pressed the back of the CMOS case to reset the bios (I thought it was because of the CPU's o / c), but this time it doesn't work. The Kompter turned on earlier, it was stable, it did not overheat. Previously, it also happened that when turning on the windows boot screen, such a dash at the top on the left was blinking and you had to turn it on again, or that it only started the second time (as if it was resetting during booting).

    config:
    Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K, Scythe Mugen II
    Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 Intel P67 LGA 1155
    RAM: Goodram 2x 2 GB
    Graphics: 2x Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti oc
    Hard disk: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1 TB (SATA II, 32MB cache, NCQ)
    Housing: Cooler Master Dominator II 692 Lite
    Power supply: Antec Truepower New TP-750 750W 80 Plus Bronze

    Standard procedure already described in hundreds of posts:
    - check the board power section for swollen capacitors
    -measure the power supply voltage meter in Molex
    -check all pins in the sockets and tightening the cooling to the processor
    -remove one of the memory dice (leave only 1) -later vice versa
    If still no effects, remove the board from the case and connect with the minimum equipment on the table (disk, 1 ram chip, processor, power supply, graphics).

    The capacitors look approx.
    I thought that the voltage of the power supply is measured on the computer that is turned on, under load. how do I do that? face when the computer starts?

    Are all plugs firmly seated in their sockets? Take out each one and put it back in again.
    Have you tried to take out everything redundant as I described in the post above?

    strange things are happening
    I put the computer horizontally on the chair and fired. this time he managed to run longer before the reset and it turned on the 4th time.
    maybe the cooling is bad for the prock

    So disassemble all the cooling, clean the heat sink and the processor thoroughly from the paste, put on a new one and reassemble thoroughly and neatly again.

    I recommend just checking the processor :) change it to a different or weaker one because maybe your motherboard is not compatible with the currently plugged in processor
