Okay, Yesterday my other computer totally froze up and I cut the power becuase I couldn't even move the cursor. When I booted it back up, It got past the system check and stuff, but didn't even get to the windows XP loading screen bfore it restarted. The computer is totally cooled down now and still does it. I was thinking of formatting the HDD, but It's a pre-built system (an old computer my mom and dad bought then broke, which I got to keep if I could get it running, they got it in '01) and I don't have a win. XP CD and can't find any of the recovery CDs. What do you think I should do? If I have to format my HDD that's fine, except I don't have a windows XP cd or anything like that. I have already tried to run it in safe mode and everything (ive tried every option after pressing f8). Any help is very much appreciated.
