It's a common issue. Can you tell the forum about your yearly dusting and cleaning?
My Compaq Presario F500 had crash from which It could not recover. I used the recovery disk from Compaq/HP to bring the PC back to the "out of store' condition. After re-formatting the hard drive and going through the recovery/re-installation process, the computer restarted and went through the whole process of intallation, the computer will shutdown ( as in normal intallation process) and restart again, and again, for ever if you let it to. What could be the problem? HELP!!
