Hi Lanky

Welcome to PCR...What OS are you running..? Vista or Xp..? When you start the comp, do you get a black screen or does it go as far as logon, then re-boot..?

Could be a bad boot sector on the Hard Drive, go to the manufacterers site for you hard drive and use their diagnostic tool and see if you have any problems.

or it could be that the PSU is on it's way out or wasn't powerfull enough to start with

Turn OFF "auto-reboot-if-there-is-a-problem" thingie and see if you then get a BSOD.

Navigate to the Control Panel in Windows XP by left-clicking on Start, followed by Settings and then choosing Control Panel.

In the Control Panel window, open System.

Note: In Microsoft Windows XP, depending on how your OS is setup, you may not see the System icon. To correct this, click on the link on the left-hand side of the Control Panel window that says Switch to Classic View.

In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.

Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.

In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.

Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.

Click OK in the System Properties window

From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system, the PC will not automatically reboot. Rebooting manually will be necessary.


My first thoughts were as JaLing stated.
