XP Only Re Boots

[Terry]

Using XP Pro SP3 the pc only re boots. Even safe mode and last known. I never
get to the log in. The drive looks good when booting to a floppy.
Tried repair from the install CDs but it did nothing.

Looking for ideas. thanks

You could try a manual System Restore. It's an involved process but it may
work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545.

1. What AV plan guarantees freedom from viruses & malware?
2. Test Power Supply Unit (free in most specialist PC repair shops.)
3. Test RAM (e.g. RAMTEST86 run from floppy.)
4. Run hard disk diagnostics available from the manufacturer.
