Any help greatly appreciated!

I normally don't turn off my computer very often. I did the other
night because it seemed my computer was a little louder, like maybe
one of the fans being bad. So, I turned it off.

The next morning I turned it on, but just keeps restarting. It will go
through normal startup (detects drive, checks memory), then you see
the WinXP logo. This stays for a couple of seconds, there's a brief
flash of a "blue screen", then it restarts. After it restarts it goes
to the screen where it gives options: "Start Windows Normally", "Last
Known...", etcetera. I try each one, but they all do the same as
mentioned above.

When looking in my case, I noticed my video card fan doesn't spin
(I've had some screen-redraw issues lately, as well), so I thought
maybe that was the problem. I then tried another video card--same
thing.

I tried another hard drive--same problem.

I tried my hard drive in another computer--I believe the HD is OK, but
wouldn't start up because: missing or corrupt
windows/inf/biosinfo.inf.

I also tried another power supply--same problem.

Any suggestions?

Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD 2400
1GB DDR
128 MB GF4 Ti4200-8x
Win XP

Thanks!
