I had a problem with my PC. It was rebooting very soon after login. No error message. the same in safe mode. After formating the hard disk I installed the XP.
The problem was still there. removed as many hardware as possible (netowrk card, CD ROMs chaged to old video card) the problem still there.
Formated again and tried to install. about 2/3 way through the install- at exactly the same point- the computer reboots.
Power supply and all the fans work fine. Have resitted the memory chips.
do not know what to do now? Could it be the whole memory bank is dead??
works fine when booting from DOS diskette
Any ideas? I need help
