Often funny and random rebooting issues are related to bad memory. I would remove all but one stick and try booting, if successful, then try booting with the other. If THAT doesn't work (the memory, not the test), then it is a good thing because you identified the problem. Another issue I find is common is the power supply. I have had my share go bad and they can cause weird, seemingly random problems as well. The other thing is resetting the CMOS which is usually done by bridging a couple of pins on the motherboard for a few seconds.
Ok that's what Im hoping, thanks

Okay, I gots a new Hard Drive, 1 Terabyte Seagate Barracuda for $100 bucks.
What a pain trying to install, apparently my HP recovery discs won't work because I have a new drive & another XP Home edition I installed to make it work will not let me register
because my registry key on my computer is for a media centre edition 2005!!!

Or Ron, you could just buy a new box. I bought this laptop from Best Buy for little over 300 bucks last month, works great, that HP system o yours is pretty old and dated, if the hard drive is failing, if that is in fact the problem, then it isn't long before other stuff croaks as well.

While true it isn't a "powerhouse I run Adobe CS4 on it with no probs, plenty fast.
My sister and brother in law just did this very thing. They replaced an ancient desktop with a new HP from Sams club that runs circles around their old one. It was $599 with a 20 inch monitor. It is still not a powerhouse by any means but several times more powerful then what they had.
