I need some ideas. It's a 1.7 GHz processor, 256 megs of RAM. The MB is ASUS and the machine is running XP Home edition.
It goes through the BIOS screen comes to a screen that should allow you to run safe-mode, etc. (but it won't allow you do do anything..locked up), then it goes through the pre-cursor (black screen) for Windows. At that point it shuts down and repeats the above. It will do that all day if unattended.
Some input is needed, and will be appreciated.
Thanks, BuddyB
