This weekend I turned off my computer cause I wasnt going to be there, yesterday when I went to turn it on it wouldnt boot, it just kept restarting....its finding the drives but after that it goes right back it does the memory check and detects the drives again and again, I thought maybe I needed to boot off a floppy so I went to work and made a win98 boot disk and it still does the same thing, someone please help....thanks

Somewhere the POST is going astray. Try reseating the CPU, the BIOS chip, and the memory. On the BIOS and memory maybe 5 or 6 times. This ususally will break thru any tarnish on the connections.
