It started 2 days ago. I went to use the computer (it was left on), but I found that it was in the process of restarting. But it came to a screen that said windows was not shutdown properly, etc. It gave me the options start in safe mode, start normaly, start at last known good point, and a few others. None of them would get windows to start. I would choose one, and the computer would restart. Tried this a few times. I tried leaving it off for 20 min, but still nothing I left the computer off for a few hours, and tried it again. It took me to the same screen with the options, but thistime the "Last known good point" (Or whatever it is called) one started it. Was on for a few hours and it just shut down and restarted again. Same thing, it just kept restarting. But now if I leave it off for like 20 or 30 min, it will work for a short time.

OK, now i think the motherboard is dead. I turn the computer on, and it does nothing now. The fan in the case and the power supply turn on, and the light on the DVD drive is one, but that is it. No other sign of life.
