System restarts continuously after black XP logo screen (post PSU failure).
Instead of getting the friendly blue “Welcome” screen, my system just restarts.
Now here’s the series of events that led to this. I don’t want to leave any details out since I’m really not sure if this is a hardware issue or an OS issue. About a month ago, my power supply got really hot and shut itself off. As soon as it cooled down, it came back to life and seemed to be working OK…no more overheating issues. A few days ago, my system started doing strange things (Sygate firewall asking permission for IE to access google.com, file DL speeds slowed drastically). That same day, I had just received a stick of RAM in the mail and I went ahead and installed it despite the peculiar system behavior. The memory seemed to be working, but my system was still acting strange. I had just installed a new program the day before, so I did a system restore to rule that out as the problem. XP was about halfway through the system restore when *POOF* my power supply fails. Dead computer. I installed a new PSU and the system just restarts itself over and over again.
