My friend is having a problem with his pc. It was working fine the other day then the one night i think he mistakenly pulled the power plug from the wall. The next day when he went to start it, It wont fully start up, it sometimes get to the windows logo screen then it just restarts, Cant get into windows. Any idea?
He hasnt changed anything in the computer for probably a week or more.

Go into the BIOS and see if the PC reboots itself while you are in there, if it does not; reboot in safemode and run system restore if that does not fix it, grab the XP cd and run a repair install of windows.
