Hi

I built the following system nearly five and a half years ago:

MB: Asus A7V333
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1800
RAM: 512
HDD: 40GB Seagate as primary and 20GB Maxtor as secondary
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 64MB
Sound: SoundBlaster Live 5.1 OEM

I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu gutsy and Win2K. For the past
one year Win2K had been rebooting within the first five minutes of
startup. This has been infrequent issue until now. From yesterday, it
is not going past the first graphics bootup screen where it shows
Windows 2000 Professional logo with a small blue status bar underneath
it. When the blue status bar finishes, it reboots.

Ubuntu, however, has no problems at all.

I have checked through hardware monitor and everything seems to be
working OK. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone can help me resolve
this issue.

Thanks
Yousaf
