My pc just keeps restarting as soon as load screen appears. NONE of the boot options work when pressing F8 and/or F12. I disabled "restart if system failure" and i get a blue screen. I connected a different hard drive and i have no problem. i can even read the bad HD when connected as secondary drive. The same problem happened to my girlfriends computer too!!! Whats going on?????

You should look at the blue screen and note down the error code. As the previous poster said, look for the description of what this might be on the internet.

What it sounds like is that some driver might be corrupted that even safe mode needs. You can probably fix it using Recover Mode and copying the original driver from the Windows CD overtop the bad one.
