you may have boot vius, wich tell your BIOS to shout down. most likey it your hardive i might have a bad secter. that when hardive head can pickup the info. in that case you need to get a new hardive. you might need to get a new computer all together. b/c thare can be a probum with your mother bord. sometime it dust and overheat the parts on the motherboad. if that caes be verry caful dusting the inside of your computer. the best way is to get can air. but DO NOT USE A COMPRESSER!!!!! when dusting be caful of jumpers. best of luck.

Try starting in safe mode (hit the f8 when the computer is turning on) . Then go to run>msconfig. Then turn off all the programs that start when windows starts. If you installed a new program try uninstalling it. And if you recently installed a new updated driver try rolling it back. That should do the trick. If that doesn't work as a last resort you can reinstall the os.

it sounds like you have card not seated properly.
turn off pc
unplug
let it power down
open case
touch case before cards (to discharge if have a charge)
remove cards and put right back in.
sound silly to do but dust or contacts may not be complete.
getting a book on "A+" will help but does not have the tricks an technics of a tech

You leave your computer's details out -- operating system? recent changes?
Try pressing F8 when the PC is first turned on and start the PC in "safe mode".

or have you tried starting in safe mode?
