Hi All, I have an old P733 machine that will not boot into windows. It
almost loads then it will reboot, continuous cycle.
Thought maybe XP was corrupt so I formated and did a clean install (not an
important machine to me, and my files are on a secondary partition anyway).
But it still reboots constantly. So I'm thinking it's a hardware concern.
What's the most likely culprit in your opinions?
I thought first off the power supply, but it worked for 45 minutes or so
while windows was installing and didn't start to reboot til a few minutes
after full installation. So maybe not. Fans are working fine, I don't think
it's overheating.
Hard drive perhaps, I've swapped out the Ram one at a time to no avail as
well.
Also checked all cards, everything is properly seated.
Any thoughts?
