I was surfing the web yesterday paying some bills, i was using internet explorer, well anyways my computer totally restarted, not i cant even boot not even in safe mode, i removed all my adapter cards took out each memory module, tested each one, my cpu is running really cool, I havent had this problem ever, it wont even boot into safe mode , it loads the drivers and after that it restarts, i have no idea what the problem could be, i dont think it could be the PSU because my computer POST just fine, i even run a WD harddrive DIAGNOSTICS on my system drive, shows no errors, i even tryed removing IDE cables and putting them back it, i just dont know if this is a hardware issue or virus, please i not really sure want to do this time..lol im mean i post fine it just windows wont load in regular or safe mode...please respond, the only thing i was doing was browsing, please reply

I had a similar problem, re-newing the boot sector worked a treat. Have you got a boot disc or your o/s disc, you can do it using one of those.

I am having the same problem. It POST fine and right when it should go to the XP loading screen. It reboots. I've tried so many things from replugging things to resetting CMOS. Please help!!
