Hi,

I used ubcd once on this system but now it keeps rebooting right after "isolinux 3.35" appears. Mainboard is an Asus maximus formular (x38), if that matters...

I tried to rebuild the image with the latest isolinux 3.63 but nothing changed.
Any idea what's going on?

I suggest you to test ram with memtest:

ram instability or bad CPU cooling can explain this problem

try also to burn a new UBCD with another brand of CD-R and at lower speed

sorry, i somehow managed to bend a pin of the cd drive (it's pata, not sata). with the pin back in place it works fine.
