I installed SP2. I reboot. Windows is loading. Blue bar scrolls by.
Monitor goes blank, I hear Cd rom spin, then it reboots. Repeats this
process until I unplug the computer.

Windows did not load successfully last time would you like to:
safe mode
safe mode networking
safe mode prompt
keep last working setup
start normally

I tried everything ..all safemodes....still same thing, once it tries to
load windows it reboots.

Any Help Would Be SUPER! :)

Hi,

Could you supply your system specifications? Specifically the cpu,
motherboard, and chipset.
