hello everyone.

I have huge problem and i will try to be as simple as possible.

I have pentium III from 2001 (I know! - 512ram, 933mhz, 2hdds 40gb). It worked ok, 
so far, more or less.
This weekend I somehow lost my mails in outlook express and downloaded some program 
through emule to recover them. I started the exe file (which was zipped while downloading) 
and my pc was restared.

After that My pc just restarts on its own. 

Safe mode was unreachable. It just write some lines/text and restarts.

At first i succeded doing start with last configuration that worked and windows xp 
pro sp1 started. but after few minutes bluse screen appeared and i had to restart 
pc. It happened again and again. I think that even that text on blue screen chnaged 
from time. It did mention hardwere software and disk space or something. After couple 
of times it started restarting even without bringing up windows. It stopes and restarts 
itself on the moment logo of windows appeares and then restarts.

sfae mode still doesnt work
last configuration that worked doesnt work anymore

i couldnt find my xp installion disk to check that.

a few weeks ago i changed my power supply. I had some problems after that. Like power-start 
button on pc didn't work. But it was all ok.

I am helpless. Maybe it has to do with that program i tried to exectute, maybe it 
is hardware. maybe it is my old pc 

maybe all of that.

I just want my pc working again as soon as possible.

Thank you!
