Hello
My computer over the last 2 weeks or so would just shu
down and reset it self. On the reboot it would go to the screen tha
allows you to select safe mode, safe mode with network, start normall
etc. I would select start normally and it would boot up (Windows XP
Last night it did the same thing, this time I can only go so far a
the safe mode screen. I select any of the options and hit enter, th
HDD light flickers a bit and thats it, screen doesn't change an
keyboard is locked up. I shut down the computer, restart and sam
result

Any ideas?

P.S. - Case is new with 400watt PSU and new ASUS M

Last known good config? Boot off the cd choose install then choose
repair the current install. If it crashes during those sorts of
operations, time to ask yourself if 400w was really enough psu.
