Hi,
Whenever I turn on my computer, it takes me to a screen which gives me a number of options like "safe mode" and "start windows normally" and a time limit of about 27-30 seconds. Whenever I choose something, whether it be safe mode or to start windows normally, my computer decides to just restart and the whole process repeats over and over again. Does anyone know what the problem is? I've tried connecting and reconnecting the computer, checking for loose wires and even keeping the computer off for a couple of days, nothing seems to work. Thank you very much!
P.S-If you would like to contact me through a messenger, you could message me at either yummy8808@xxxxxxxxxxx(MSN) or yummmna(AIM) or my normal e-mail, yumnaaa@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks so much!

Select 'Safe Mode' on the option list. That will enable you to boot up into Windows at a mimimal level. If you can get into it then, you can back up your music files and other data to CD.

I'm a bit unclear as to what stage your PC reboots. Earlier you said you managed to reach the stage where you had the option screen. When you get there does the system stabilise or are you saying it reboots only once you tried for 'Safe Mode'?
