The bigger issue is if your motherboard is going bad it may not fix the restore disc issue as the board will never take the tattoo. Have you tried any diagnostic tools yet to determine if any of your hardware is bad esp the mobo or memory?
No, haven't tried any diagnostic tools or anything else since I can't even get into my desktop screen...the computer restarts itself before it gets there...I tried all of the safe modes and the same thing happens...so right now im basically stuck with a computer that keeps restarting...only things I can get into are the F1 Setup screen and the F8 Startup options screen...
