Hi. I just did a clean install of win 2000. Everything went smooth. Now when i turn on the computer it boots up, shows the progress bar, then at the end it reboots. Anyone know what can be causing this?

if you leave it, does it just cotinually reboot? Have you tried rebooting in safe mode? (PRESS f8 after start up)
I just had this problem after installing windows updates, couldn't even start up in safe mode. Turned out to be blaster worm. PC went into some kind of continual boot mode, no boot disks would restart it, we had to reinstall windows 2000. Try booting in safe mode, if it works, see if you're able to run your antivirus software in safemode...just in case it is the same virus that I had. Good luck!
