Yesterday my computer was not working and whenver I tried logging onto my
name (the only name on the computer), my computer would just restart. Or
if I
let it sit for 10 seconds the computer would restart as well.. I tried for
around 50 times and it would restart everytime untill I unplugged it.
So I pressed F8 repetivily while it was starting up the next day after
getting advice from some people and it brought me to a menu of safe modes.
I
tried all of the three safe modes it showed over five times each and it
also
showed something that said something like 'Start computer before it was
broken' something like that and whenver I choose any of them, it will show
a
code that keeps scrolling down the screen until it fills the screen and
then
the computer just restarts again and brings me back to safe mode.
I cant even get back to the blue screen that lets me log onto a name now.

I want help on how to get into safe mode without my computer restarting I
made another topic here:

and no one gave me advice that worked. :(

Help! :(

I had this error. Had to format my HDD, though there might be a fix for it,
I never found it. Do you have an XP startup disc? If so, try to boot from
there.
