what type of ram do you have ? how old is it ? and when you get into bios (normally hold down delete key or f2 during post) is your mobo showing the same size and type of ram that the stickers on the side of it show ? it could be bad ram it could be bad cpu or dodgy fsb setting (bad powersuply & or bad mobo) using a torch to give good light look around all the capacitors on the mobo and see if any of them are distorted perforated or there is any ooze /liquid /residue build up around any of them, bad capacitors will quickly lead to bad everything else... I had the exact same problem on an asus mobo about 3 years ago and it was down to a bad capacitor (deformed top) rma'd that sucker and its been fine ever since (that depends on who its made by and how long they offer, at the time mine was nearly 3 years old but had a 5 year parts warrenty) It is ddr3 ram and here are some pictures.    If those RAM modules were working before ok, then they must be suitable for the MB..........but that can be checked, by googling the manual for your MB "Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!" |

Are you using a ps2 or USB keyboard? Your bios may have disabled USB on startup for some reason. Try a PS2 keyboard if possible. Using a usb keyboard. It is all i have  I seem to recall from somewhere, that the f keys on a USB keyboard won't work until it has booted up properly, although I could be imagining it..............strange things go on in my mind.

Depending on the amount of RAM modules & Module Slots you have Roscopecotrain, you can try eliminating if it's a RAM problem or not by this: If there are 2 modules inserted (which there probably are), remove one & try firing up the pc again........If no joy, take that module out & insert it in the other slot & try again........Then do the same with the other module............If one of the modules is naff, it'll still fire up on one........... By downloading & running this little beauty, I discovered both of my modules were naff, so I re-newed both........... www.memtest86.com/"Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!" I have 2 slots and only one ram in there. Tried booting without the ram but to ni avail. I may be wrong, but it won't boot properly without any RAM anyway.............

Asked CC if she can bring a wired keyboard jome from work and see if i can get into the boot menu on start up . Not sure that will sokve the on off problem though which seems to have sorted itself for now.

I had a similar problem, where it would boot up, crash & re-boot over & over.........I totally stripped the pc & tried everything......even a new HD & a fresh install of the OS........after exhausting every avenue, it turned out to be one of the RAM' modules on it's way out......Re-newed both modules & it was sorted...... Life.......is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!" That was what i was finding online either my ram or my cpu is not working correctly. Is it a laptop or pc Roscopecotrain ?

All mine are between 2 & 3 years old & still going strong.........Wrap clear sellotape over the writing to stop it wearing off.....There's no need to submerge the whole thing in water when cleaning (that's for wimps), just flush them out with warm water, using the plunger................
