    Welcome to WindiwsBBS :)

    You will have to give us a lot more detail to go on ....
    is not enough to go on we would expect more from an 'experienced' computer user.

    At what stage does it reboot? Before loading the desktop or when?

    If it boots to the desktop how long elapses before it reboots?

    I suspect a possible hardware problem - have you checked that the CPU fan is running?

    If you are able to boot up for a reasonable time ......

    Set up the computer so that it does not automatically restart on system failure .....

    Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings ....

    Under System failure uncheck 'Automatically restart' and under Write debugging information select 'Kernel memory dump' from the dropdown list and OK out.

    The computer will now show the BSOD in the event of a System failure giving details of the Stop message and the contents of the memory will be dumped to disk.

    Run the dump data through our Dump Data Collection Tool and post the log here (copy/paste).

    Unfortunately these logs require expert knowledge to analyze and there are currently no members that have the depth of knowledge necessary. Members can only make observations and suggestions as to how you might proceed toward finding the cause .....

    Post the error code of the Stop Message if you are able to do the above action.

    So sorry about that.

    It reboots before loading the desktop and doesn't ever get past the windows xp screen.

    The CPU fan runs
