Ok well my comuter wont start up. Heres what happens. I turn it on and it all seems normal but then it goes into the waring screen that says "Your computer didnt start normally last time" (which it did). It then proceeds to give me some options (safe mode, normal etc) so I choose one (ive tried them all and the same thing happens no matter what) so it gets the the Windows XP Professional loading page and does that a bit when all of a sudden BAM it restarts and does the same thing all over again. And itll keep doing this untill I turn it off. Any ideas on whats wrong? Cause im lost as to what to do. :(

you sound like a jerk!

smells like you need to reinstall your windows though.

Well you obviously know more than I do about computers, but that smae thing happened to me last year. I took it in and it was the result of a virus. Had to reinstall everything…..hope it's something different, I just remember the whole safe mode thing. Neither option worked and I ended up just giving up and sending it to a shop.

Didn't cost too much if that's any consolation. It was apparently pretty easy to diagnose and I reinstalled everything on my own…..Sorry man, that sucks
