    I had trouble understanding that last part, but e-machiens ar eknown for having cheap crappy mobos, are there any emssages in your error log? and does the mobo make any strange beeps when it restarts? and you shouldn't get rid of your firewall, I would suggest downloading Zone alarm right away

    Has the machine always done this or is it something recent?

    Does the machine actually complete the boot sequence and the just restart when it feels like it or does it continualy cycle thru trying to boot without ever finishing?

    I also don't understand that last sentence.
