        <description>Hi! I was also having the same problem but my computer restarted after logon.&lt;br /&gt;
I opened my CPU cabinet and cleaned all the power supply and chipset fans.&lt;br /&gt;
Then I formatted my system.&lt;br /&gt;
Now it's working well.&lt;br /&gt;
Probly this may be due to excess heating.&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes it is caused due to deposition of carbon in RAM shocket so Try putting your RAM in another shocket.&lt;br /&gt;
But if you find a better solution then PLZ inform me.&lt;br /&gt;
my E-MAIL address is:-&amp;gt;          &lt;a class=&quot;ext&quot; href=&quot;mailto:talk2partha@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;talk2partha@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

        <description>Sound like you maybe overheating. Check the fans on the CPU/chipset/GFX card.&lt;br /&gt;
Or your power supply could be failing.</description>

        <description>hi, my computer is stuck with this problem&lt;br /&gt;
initially ... i was facing the problem that my computer restarted automatically after the XP Logo screen&lt;br /&gt;
but after a while ... it got worse&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it didnt even reach the logo screen and restarted automatically&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and what more to say....then after i restart it hangs after 5-20 seconds .. in between this time... whatever stage it reaches it hangs to that point, either u r in DOS, BIOS, or trying to restart with bootable CD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and now......it is only showing the first screen that's the name of the MOTHERBOARD which is mercury&lt;br /&gt;
and at the lower end it shows press tab to enter ....and on the right of it... press del to enter setup&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but i have tried a lot... to press TAB and DEL keys ... but it hangs at that step only....&lt;br /&gt;
well i have unplugged the processor and plugged all the cables and even the processor ...back into their same slots but the problem is still there&lt;br /&gt;
please help&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mercury 810E chipset&lt;br /&gt;
Intel pentium 1.1 GHz&lt;br /&gt;
128 MB SDRAM&lt;br /&gt;
onboard sound card...&lt;br /&gt;
