I just built a computer today and installed all the hardware and hook-ups for the cables. I go to start it up and yay it worked. Went to bios to see if everything was ok and it was. Told it to start up and it reboots. Starts up until it's SUPPOSE to start loading windows and it reboots and keeps doing it. Someone know what's wrong and how I might fix it. Thanks

Just went thru this with my main machine, ended up having to reformat and reinstall OS and everything, repair didnt work, etc...try booting off windows cd choosing the option to "repair" after accepting the license agreement, it may or may not work, if it does at least you won't lose all your programs like I did.
