I've checked some sites to find my problem but it didn't quite work out...
My problem is that my pc reboots at startup, this is not such a big problem
since it's only at the startup, only a little annoying. I was wondering if it
can be bad for my pc and what might be the cause. I thought it could be my
power suply (300 watts). But that's me saying that, and I don't know that
much when it comes to things like this.
Could you please help me out?
p.s. (OS = winxp SP2, pentium4 2,6 HT, ati radeon 9800 pro, asus motherboard
deluxe series, 1 gig of ddr-ram(don't know the brand), one dvd-rom player,
floppy drive, 2 cooling vans, a few usb-ports and the 300 watts power suply)
that might help you...

Thanks in advance,
Reinier Verhoog

This could be many different things from hardware to cmos settings and
anything in between.
Start here. Start/run type in eventvwr click ok. Look for anything with a
red x. trouble shoot from there if anything corresponds.

I forgot to mention this
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
3. Clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure, and
then click OK. The error message should remain on the screen so that you can
record the error information.

See what kind of errors you are getting and go from there.
