Did you turn off the "automatically restart" option in Startup & Recovery? You may also wanna get some decent software. Norton is a resource hog & Yahoo Toolbar is actually spyware itself. Read the Yahoo Toolbar policy & see for yourself: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/ya... There are better anti-spy programs than PC Tool & they're FREE: http://www.filehippo.com/ And do some research about WinXP memory requirements & how to optimze the virtual memory settings because you obviously don't understand how it works. I suggest you read the comments here: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/...

Disable autorestart and then view the error logs. Go to Control panel> System> Advanced> Startup and Recovery Settings> untick auto restart. Go to Start> Help and Support> Tools> Advanced system Information> View the error log.

(too slow on the type again - there were no answers when I started typing this) Failing or faulty power supplies are common and can cause your symptoms. Check your PS. See response 4 in this: http://www.computing.net/hardware/w... ..... Win XP is often set to reboot when it encounters an unrecoverable error. To have XP possibly display an error message you can investigate instead of rebooting: 1. Click Start, and then right-click My Computer. 2. Click Properties. 3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery. 4. Under System failure, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. 5. Click OK, and then click OK. .... Why are you using a table fan to cool the cpu? Your cpu will probably overheat even if you use one if it doesn't have a cpu fan too. The cpu must have an adequate heatsink on it. If you are overclocking some setting, set that setting to something less or to a normal setting - e.g. too high a cpu core voltage will cause you problems even if the cpu isn't overheating. We have no idea from your information what the make and model of your mboard is, or the make and model of your brand name system is, so we have no idea what key you need to press to get into the bios Setup. The key you press to get into the bios Setup varies - it is often Del, or F1 or F2 on brand name systems, but it could be something else. You repeatedly press the key, don't hold it down, while booting, very early in the boot sequence. If you press it too early, the computer will reboot and start the boot sequence again; if you press it too late pressing it will be ignored by the bios. If your keyboard is USB connected, a setting in the bios Setup must be set to enable Legacy USB devices or a USB keyboard or similar in order for you to be able to get into the bios Setup. On many older mboards that setting is disabled by default; on more recent mboards that's usually enabled by default. If that is disabled, you can't get into the bios Setup with a USB connected keyboard - you must use a PS/2 connected keyboard, and if you want to be able to get into the bios Setup with a USB keyboard after that, you must enable the Legacy USB or similar setting. If the USB connected keyboard is not a "combo" keyboard that was designed to be used with either a USB or PS/2 connection, using a simple adapter to convert the connector on the end of the cord to a PS/2 connection will not work because the circuits aren't there to make that work. "Combo" keyboards or mice always come with a simple adapter when new. Some keyboards have extra buttons that can toggle F(n) keys - (n) being 1 to 12 - on/off - if your keyboard has such a button, if your bios requires you press an F(n) key to get into the bios, you won't be able to get into the bios unless the F(n) keys are enabled - if you have such a button, there is probably an led that lights up when it is enabled. Even if you can't get into the bios Setup, there are hardware monitoring software programs you can use in Windows to report the same things the current readings in the bios Setup reports. If you have a brand name system software installation, such a program may already be in your Programs somewhere. Mboard manufacturers often have such a utility on the CD that came with the mboard, and/or that can be downloaded from their web site, often in the software downloads for your model, or if not from somewhere else on the website. Or you can get and use freeware ones available on the web - e.g. SpeedFan.
