I have a computer that runs XP Pro (SP-3) that fails to boot every time.

This was shut down properly, however, it now will not boot back up. Even in
safe mode it restarts just as windows should be loading.

Any ideas?
I had a similar problem one day after buying a new PC, it seems that the
store tried to pawn off memory sticks which were 266mhz when they should have
been 400mhz, you may have a faulty memory stick. try alternating them. You
may have a failing power supply as I did. Have you installed a new
power-hungry video card?Anyhow: Months later I couldn't get past the
"entering setup" splash page. The ide ribbon cable was replaced. And I also
had to install a 450watt PSU.
