Why does my computer shut off and reboot while w xp is loading?
I see the motherboard logo, as usual, and then windows logo with loading dots underneath.
I hear a click and the logo disappears.
A white on black one-line message flashes on but it's too fast for me to read.
Then, the computer reboots and the whole schmagaggie repeats itself.
Will do this until I shut it down.
F8 and delete don't help me because my computer knowledge level is low.
Cannot get to safe mode.
Was asked to choose last good session but when I chose it, computer did same thing again.
Inside is clean; all 3 fans are clean and running; no skidmarks on mobo.
This began the day I set up verizon dsl.
Any ideas?
