<<<<< Recently using a Desktop computer with Asus p4p800s Mobo 478 socket. P4 HT 3.0 cpu with 184 pin sd ddram 400/pc3200. Agp 8x radeon x1300 256. Started slowing down on a previous hard drive which was 120 gb windows xp sp2. after trying to restart got a corrupt sys32 file so i reformatted and still received blue screens. Replaced hard drive and ram so farm tried booting Knoppix and still restarts. Changed video card out with another just to see if it was that but no problems, pretty new video card. Re seated everything even cpu and mobo, i think the mobo might be shot but i figure someone else might have had this issue or seen this problem before. If you need to ask anymore questions send me an email. >>>>>.
i would first check the cmos battery and the power supply before trying other troubleshooting options.
HTH and good luck---Venkat
