It boots up first (Before the OS) and runs the program which just writes cycles to your ram and checks for inconsistencies etc.

well do i have to get like deamontools so i can mount the IMG file ?

No, you have to boot from that CD. Daemon Tools will be of no use. Either burn a CD or make a bootable USB stick.

Okay thanks ill try that CD thingy.

Well it asid everything was good, but im still not getting any help here. i really am running towards a dead end.

What did you do when you tried the CD?

Longshot here but how about taking off the cpu fan again and check if the thermal paste checks out. Did u use enuff or just too much or not enuff ?

I've been getting the same error with my AMD Dual-core 64-bit CPU. I've also heard from other people with the same problems with these processors. Too bad, though. They're real work-horses.

And yeah, I guess it's because they get too hot, and AMD are kinda cheap with the paste.

I'm sure this is just a temperature problem.

Make sure the fan / heatsink is properly reseated. This is the most common problem I encounter with restarting PC within x seconds.

If somehow you can access bios, please monitor its temperature. Leave it for around a few minutes or maybe an hour. If it gets overheated (at around 80 degrees above), then its either the fan failing, or the heatsink not properly seated.

Another thing to check is the Thermal Paste. Check if the Thermal Paste is dry. If it is, replace it. Be sure to follow tutorials if it's your first time. There are lots of those in youtube.

If all else fails, check the PSU.
