| Try booting to a floppy boot disk with only DOS on it. See if you can get to the DOS prompt. |

| Re: My comuter is restarting itself. Please help! If you have a extra power supply they that, remove all pci cards and if you are running more then one stick of memory try one at a time. |

| Re: My comuter is restarting itself. Please help! Probably PSU from the sounds of it. See if you can get into your system bios and see if the same thing occurs. If it doesn't look for any type of thermal message in the BIOS. |

Unplug everything you have connected to the motherboard. Unplug the hard drives, the sound card, the optical drives, and the video card. Anything else plugged in? Use the onboard video and audio you have with that motherboard. Don't forget to unplug the power cords to the items. Also reset the BIOS to the default settings. Now try the boot floppy again. | |

There is no windows on a boot floppy disk so we can rule out windows for the time being if your system won't boot to the floppy. | |
