System keeps reboot in normal startup

Hi All,

I have a computer that just keeps rebooting in normal startup as soon as get the desktop loaded. However, if I started up in Safemode it run days without problem. I scanned for virus/spywares/adware. Any idea what causes this?

Spec: Compaq Presario
SR1110NX
WinXP
256 RAM

Thanks,

Hi ThePoor,

When booted in safe mode.......Right-click on My Computer>click>Properties>click>Advanced and in Startup and recovery>click>Settings. Then UN-click>Automatically Restart. Then try to start in Normal Mode. It should BSOD instead of restarting. Write down whatever it says and some of the experts here will have a better idea of what's wrong.
