Computer keeps resetting itself

What do you think is wrong with it?

is a Windows XP from 2002


I put the new Windows XP disc in it and all it does is keep loading with no results..just keeps saying it is uploading.

Okay then check your cpu fan and see if it's still working. Could also be your RAM is not working properly anymore. If you got more than one stick see if you can take one out, try different slots etc etc and see what it does. Usually your comp rebooting is a hardware problem.

I had this exact problem a few months ago and I was using XP too.
I had to run my anti-virus and the some spyware tools to solve the problem and it seemed to help.I also blamed my cpu fan but it was working fine.

My computer "died" on me a few weeks ago so I had to treat myself to a new one and I had never backed up any of my files that i wanted to keep ie pictures and stuff sad
So please if you have anything you dont want to lose back them up.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!
