My computer just began to reboot and won't enter Windows.
I've changed the boot sequence to start from cdrom to try
to recover Win XP but when it reads the cdrom drive I get
error message "atapi failure". I was told that this
probably means my motherboard is gone but is that true or
is there something I can do to fix it? Help!!!

Suspect your power supply....
