Pc startup issues

I am communicating with you Via my mac laptop. I have a Hewlett Packard desktop, which is the computer that I am having the problems with. I have not used the desktop since I purchsed the laptop. I tried to start the desktop, after having it unplugged for about 3 months, earlier tonight. It started to load and got as far as the windows 2000 loading page, but did not load my desktop, but rather restarted by itself. I restarted many times, tried starting in safe mode, and even unplugged, replugged, and tried again. All to no advail. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to disable automatic restart on error? This sounds like you are experiencing a BSOD and the computer is automatically restarting because of it.
