Ok, so last night I was downloading a program from xbox.com and I was downloading the new internet explorer 7. Neither of them were done yet and my computer just restart, im like ??

So it comes back to the login screen and I type my password. As soon as I click enter the computer restarts again. I thought it was overheating or something but it still wont login this morning.
I can get to it using safe mode but what do i do from here?
do you know wat the problem is? Thanks.

Win XP is often set to reboot when it encounters an unrecoverable error.

To have XP display the error message 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.


Failing power supplies are common and can cause your symptoms.
Check your PS.
