My compuer retstarted itself earlier today.

When it came back on it would go the the XP Welcome screen, the one where it just says welcome, stay there for 10 seconds then it would power down. The fans and stuff would still being going but many of the things turn off.

I cannot get to the desktop.

Is there a way I can start it in safe mode without getting into windows?

No. Seriously. No.

Before the XP load screen comes up press F8.

If you got a packard bell machine like me then its the first screen you see and its tehre for about 0.75 seconds so be quick Razz

also if that doesnt work you'd better hope that you were given some boot CDs with your machine/made boot CDs. (WARNING- this is to restore your PC to factory settings)

happend to me awhile back, ive had real probs withmy comp this/last week, ended up formatting my comp 3 times this week.
