Hi all

My problem with Win 98 SE is that, after booting up,
it'll sit there calmly for a few seconds, then, no matter
what I'm doing, it reboots itself.

If I load up in safe mode, it doesn't do this. I've tried
reinstalling Windows, still the same.

Anybody got any idea what's going on??? (And how to fix!)

Thanks

Stephen

Use this technique to try to pin point what is different between normal and
safe mode and is causing a reboot.
