Thanks for the link and everything, but can someone help w/ what to do if I'm unable
to even get into the pc? It just keeps rebooting won't go into safe mode or anything.
However I try to get into the OS I am unable. The closest I get is the splash screen
for XP pro. Then restart. Thanks for any help.
