Here is my problem. When ever I turn on my computer it doesnt go through the boot stage. I have tried it with different ram with no success. Some times it gets into Windows only to reboot itself after a few minutes. Some times it askes if i want to start in safe mode, etc , but what ever i choos causes it to reboot. Do you think that it is the CPU? -please help Mike

You could have an overheating CPU. However, if you have just recently updated your MB Bios, that is probably your problem. Whenever you update your BIOS you have to re-install Windows. Hope you can figure it out!
