Started on world of warcraft would just restart.Tried cleaning
,defrag,disk,fix it utilities all to no avail.Then it wouldn't start until
6-7 tries and continued to restart every 30-40 mins or switch user. Cleaned
out inside of any dust. Checked errors it said a printer drive was shutting
it down,one that i uninstalled months earlier.Found some notepad files for it
and deleted,still didn't work problem continued. Finally decided to use my
start up disk to try and repair kept restarting so somehow missed the repair
window and I think it started reinstall now can't boot, however it's not
restarting now!! What a mess all help would be appreciated. System is 10
month old pentium 4 2.66GHz 447 ram 64mb mem. only other thing I could add is
both cd rom drivers make a liitle noise.

You are having hardware failures. Messing about with drivers and
operating system repairs isn't going to help. Here are some general
hardware troubleshooting steps:

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).

Or, since the machine is so new, you may just want to exercise the
warranty.
