Ok, here is my problem,

Computer was working fine yeasterday morning. Yeasterday afternoon when i went to turn the computer on this is what happens: Computer comes on and goes through loading of windows xp I see the logo and the bar that shows it is loading however it never gets past this point after about 50 sec it shuts down and reboots and continues the processess over and over. I am not sure what i need to look for in set up mode. I have an emachines and am not really wainting to do a restore if it can be avoided.

Thanks for your help
Heidi

Can you start in safe mode?
