Re: help me!! got old computer that keeps restarting
When does it restart? Does it boot into Windows? If so you might try the ideas in this post:

BSOD Diagnostics

Although that was written for XP most of it applies to 2K as well.

If it restarts without getting into Windows at what point does it restart?

Can you access you BIOS Setup?

Re: help me!! got old computer that keeps restarting
Can you get into Safe Mode?

Press the F8 key repeatedly after the BIOS POST but before windows tries to load.

Re: help me!! got old computer that keeps restarting
do you mean the windows screen?

if so, you press F8 before this (when you 1st turn on your computer and the screen is black with white writing (i think))
