Computer Wont boost, just restarts

When I turn on my computer , starts going through the post test and it seems as it is done the computer just restarts itself over and over. The only way I can get it to do anything is to reset cmos. I check all the settings and it does the same thing.

My computer is:

Msi neo2 P mother board
P4 3.02 HT
1G MEM
MSI Geforce 5650 GC
80 gig
dvdr/w
c r/w

Any ideas?

my computer used to do that.

it gets past the xp loading screen and the testing and all of a sudden you hear the fans and the cd drive running, WHOA it just restarted!! lol

you have either a horribe terrible virus or..somethings wrong with the file system or what not..

my suggestion to you is to just recover or reformat.

Also check and make sure your power supply and cpu fans are running. Could be powering down if they're shot. Couls also be a bad ram. Not enough memory to run windows.
