Hi everyone,

Has anyone had this problem? This is the first time I have encountered
this. My computer will be booting up, and right when it is about to go
into the Windows XP loading screen, there will be a brief flicker of a
blue screen (like a fraction of a second), but then the computer will
automatically restart itself and begin the process again. It gives me
the option to start the computer normally, start with the last known
good configuration, or start up in safe mode (with/ without
networking), it doesn't matter which option I choose, the outcome is
always the same -- it reboots itself.

Any ideas??

Someone else suggested it could be a RAM problem, which may be the case.

The reason it is rebooting is it is most likely set to (which is pretty
stupid if you ask me since you can not see the error then). If you can
get into safe mode, the 'Automatically reebot on errors' selection is
under 'My Computer' -> 'Properties' -> 'Advanced' tab -> 'Startup and
Recovery' frame 'Settings' button.

If your RAM is made up of 2 or more stick, you can remove one at a time
and try booting that way. If it boots w/o a certain stick, you may have
hit it.
