Yesterday I was browsing Nokia site (probably u all know the reason why) when my PC turned off automatically.
Now whenever i try to boot it again, as soon as win xp loads it restarts again.
Plz. tell me what to do?

Hi prabhatmohit
Try this...
Boot XP in 'SafeMode' by tapping F8 key. Once you are in SafeMode, right click 'My Computer', click 'Properties'. A box will appear. In the box, click 'Advanced' tab. Look for 'Startup and Recovery' option and click 'Settings' button under it. A new box/window will appear. In that look for 'System Failure' option. Then uncheck the option 'Automatically Restart'. Then Click OK and OK buttons.
This should take care of issue.
Enjoy.
