My computer has been restarting by itself at startup. It happens when it reaches the Windows XP loading screen. It gives me the option previously to Start Windows Normally or Start With The Most Recent Working Settings or something along those lines. I've tried booting into Safe Mode too, but it still restarts.
I'm obviously using a different computer to post this. Any help with this would be great, thanks.
I really need this sorted out, I can't actually get onto my computer properly, it's fucking terrible.

My old one did that, apparently it was due to a conflict somewhere, so we had to like take everything out and see if it made any difference.
It started working again eventually, it was actually a virus.
I'm a total computer nub compared to the rest of this lot, but the hardware unplugging might help?

Just for your knowledge....
the same thing happened to my PC and it was actually a virus, i had to get it wiped and stuff. It carried on playing up, but as my PC was old anyway, my dad got a new one!

Ahh this normally can be caused by RAM usage or anything that is being overused in your PC. Normally in some pc's, RAM is used at about 1.3 odd volts. But for custom built pc's people tend to take it to about 2v just for computer speed preformance.
My other theory is that a certain command line in his Boot record is currupted/errored during the loading of XP.
Can't remember how to sort this but it could help.
